I have been officially certified for about 3 weeks and have signed up for every signing service you can think of but I have yet to receive any jobs. Can someone help me out here? I would like to get started in the new business venture.
@bethanyjacobnotary As with most businesses that are starting out, it’s a SLOW process.
In general, most do find building a business within this business sector to be a MARATHON, not a sprint.
Well, that is unless you live in a region that isn’t already saturated with Trained, Certified, & experienced Notary Signing Agents [NSAs] who are also seeking out Signing Orders OR if you have a family member who works at a Title/Escrow Company [T/EC]. In those scenarios (and a few others), you may find it to be a BREEZE!
As a fellow business owner, I’d like to offer an opportunity to further enhance your business acumen & skill set (speaking proverbially) by “teaching you how to fish;” instead of giving you a fish . . .

@bethanyjacobnotary Also, it’s always wise to research & vet a new client prior to providing a definitive confirmation to them for your initial Signing Order for them. A great start of research would begin within the Notary Cafe forums Search Function.
Most members find it difficult/nearly impossible to locate the Search Function in order to access the wealth of info available within the database.
To be helpful, I’ve inserted an image for you & others [see below] to help members locate it to unlock the wisdom & knowledge of other members on the forums.
Accessing the database to locate info about potential clients has saved many of us an inordinate amount of time ‘chasing’ payments for Services professionally provided to potential non-payers . . .
In those scenarios (and a few others), you may find it to be a BREEZE!
