TO ALL NOTARY CAFE MEMBERS NEW TO THIS BUSINESS SECTOR:

A new ‘Marketing Campaign’ that is endeavoring to separate you from your hard-earned money . . .

The email is SPAM and is blasted out to anyone who is a Notary that you could . . .

  • “be missing out on high-paying signings in your area right now”
  • “receive job assignments immediately after certification”
  • “work from home or on the go with total flexibility”
  • “access new client connections and top signing networks”
  • “enjoy unlimited income potential”

They’ve named the program “notary performance job booster service”

Their prices start at $349 & go up to $635

NO!! RUN THE OTHER DIRECTION! :person_running::man_running::woman_running:

It is certainly understandable why these offers seem so attractive, and many of the claims made are accurate; however, the situation is analogous to participating in a lottery. While the prospect of significant rewards is undoubtedly tempting, the marketing materials fail to adequately present the actual, underlying statistical likelihood of achieving such outcomes, leaving potential subscribers with an incomplete and potentially misleading understanding of the true prospects.

TO ALL NOTARY CAFE MEMBERS NEW TO THIS BUSINESS SECTOR:

There are myriad factors to consider when determining a business to launch. Those factors vary from region-to-region as well as from State-to-State. Many are contingent upon the laws, rules, regulations, etc. of a specific locality.

One must perform their own due diligence in determining IF THERE IS a good market to support a business.

It’s also truly contingent upon the saturation of professional signing agents [PSAs] in your Service Area.

As I often express, launching a business within this business sector isn’t a sprint ===>>> it’s a MARATHON!

.

Truly, launching a business within this business sector of the industry (like many entrepreneurial businesses) is a slog to get things going regarding SOs.

The YouTube videos hawking “it’s EASY PEASY to make $100K/year” has been debunked repeatedly . . .

Unfortunately, folks do still decide to “invest” in the used car salesman tactics of bait & switch! They tell you if you’re not receiving SOs to just launch a Signing Service & you’ll be living in a McMansion next week . . .

UGH!!

A few of us sages on the Notary Cafe forum have been expressing that a declining status within this business sector has been present for multiple years . . .

We have hope that those new to this business sector would heed the clarion call. Some have heeded it - others haven’t and decry the waste of their funds launching their business.

This is why we state it’s particularly egregious that those who lack scruples & morals are engaging in misleading and delusional marketing tactics ; i.e., falsely espousing 6-figure incomes, etc.

Anyone who is knowledgeable of this business sector has been cognizant for multiple years that the blatantly false 6-figure claim hasn’t been valid for a very long time.

@cfletcher Precisely the topic/point of this thread & posts. :tada::white_check_mark:

Serves as an ALERT to those new to this business sector to carefully vet any marketing ‘schemes’ & AVOID any that endeavor to separate business owners from their hard-earned funds.
