Successful Notary Tip #2 - Network

One way to increase your chances of success as a notary is to network with other notaries. An easy way to do this is to read and participate on the many popular notary boards, such as Notary Rotary, Go Mobile Notary, and Mobile Notary Network (view MyNotarySource for a comprehensive list). There you will find new and experienced notaries that you can learn from, get your questions answered and exchange marketing ideas with.

When you first log on to a board it is always good to read and get a feel for the board before you post. Once you feel comfortable you can introduce yourself to let your voice be heard. The board I recommend the most for newbies is Mobile Notary Network because the notaries are friendly and helpful.

Another way to network with other notaries is contact local notaries in your area to set up a referral system. Because I have been in contact with other Long Beach notaries, I can easily refer business to them that I am unable to accept. If am presented with an assignment that conflicts with my schedule I tell the caller that I can have one of my associates perform the notarization.

I then proceed to take down their information so the other notary can contact them (this is the best way because when you just give them another notaries' phone number they never seem to call).

Our Long Beach notary group has set up a referral system so if the notary makes $100 and up from the assignment then a 20% referral fee is paid to the referring notary.

Do not be afraid get out there and network you way to success!
