Get a WEBSITE

By

My only recommendation to you if you plan on doing this long term is getting a website! I have gotten many calls lately for notarizing POA's for their parents. I also have many calls for notaries on the weekend when the banks are closed. They come to my home and I make a few bucks! I am in a good location and have gotten my name high on google, so that helps! I am so glad that I got a website when I first started and that I can advertise myself without really advertising! IT is a must for every notary out there that is in the loan signing business! I would do a lot of research with the company you plan to get a site with~ Free isn't always good!  And know your domain company..... Knowledge is power~

Yes, Michele, a website is a must in our business. It has a two-fold function.

#1, as you mentioned, it can bring business from the consumer who finds your site and calls you for notarization as well as companies who find you through a search.

#2, I spoke to a prominent company in our industry a few days ago. She mentioned reading my profile on a website. In her explanation of calling me to hire me to do work for them in the future she named off some of the items that impressed her to give me a call. One of the things she mentioned is that I have a professional website.

This is not unlike my efforts and evaluation of companies I'm thinking of signing up with. I will look for a website. If I do not find a website, it is likely that I will not sign up with them as well as having no physical address.

If you don't have a website in 2008 you are dead in the water. I figured it out in 2003 and got a website.

 Would you hire anyone that doesn't have enough business sense to get a website?
