Good morning everyone! I live in the Houston area and I got certified in November 2021, I have not received any signings. I’ve signed up and paid for several companies, still with nothing. Is there something else I should be doing to get signings? ---

@pcollins **=\> Great question!** I’m responding as a peer (_you’re a fellow **Business Owner** _). **=\>** Why perform a Search of the Notary Café database before creating a new thread? Just good manners. 👼💛 _More than likely, it’s **already present** within the database._ It’s considerate, thoughtful, & respectful of other members. **Saves everyone time & prevents consternation.** It also reflects you’re **attempting to be a good business owner.** _REMEMBER: It’s always helpful to identify_ _ **within your query** _ _IF you’ve_ _ **already** _ _performed a Search of the database.

Utilize the following Key Word(s) “_ **Best Companies** _” in the Search field query box. There is a PLETHORA of immediately available info there for you. Also, I recommend you researching the “_ **Bad Companies** _” in the Search field query box as well.

I suspect you fell into the scam of paying for listings that never came through. ---

Never pay to sign up unless it’s an established signing platform like notary rotary, notary cafe, notary go, signing [agent.com](http://agent.com) (NNA), etc. Otherwise you’re getting scammed.
