I'm often asked, “I know I need to get the Loan Signing System Certification AND the NNA's Certification, but what which one should I get first?”
The answer depends on whether you're a beginner notary loan signing agent or not.

If you are looking to try to get more notary public loan signing agent jobs, read this blog!
I’m constantly emailed this comment from loan signing agents looking to get business from mortgage professionals — “Mark, I've dropped off business cards at numerous escrow/title companies, mortgage broker offices, and real estate offices... and I spend a ton of money on marketing materials but never get a phone call back with more loan signing jobs. Can you help me please?”
While my best marketing techniques are in my Loan Signing System course, in this blog post I’ll tell you why spending any money on marketing materials is pointless and why dropping off business cards is the biggest waste of time for notary loan signing agents. I'll also cover what you can do to get more loan signing jobs instead. So let's start with why simply dropping off business cards to mortgage professionals doesn't help you get more loan signing jobs as a notary public loan signing agent.

I’m frequently asked, “Mark, should I wait to take the Loan Signing System Training Course until after I have received my notary commission?”
The answer is absolutely not.
Let me be the first to tell you that becoming a notary public loan signing agent is NOT a get rich quick scheme — it is a legitimate profession that thousands of people are doing right now, today, to make great money working for themselves.
There will be a learning curve when you first begin since you will have to learn a brand new skill. And the fact of the matter is you can’t learn how to become a notary public loan signing agent who makes anywhere from $75 to $200 per hour long appointment in an evening or two. Just like you can't learn to be a chef in an evening or two... or learn how to hit a golf ball in a day or two. The reality is that learning how to navigate a borrower through a set of loan documents will take some studying and you will want to do that BEFORE you get your notary commission in the mail...

Calling part-time work "part-time work" is so 2016. Part-time work that you do around your full-time job is now fondly known as a side hustle!
In fact Entrepreneur Magazine defines the term 'side hustle' as:
"A way to make some extra cash that allows you the flexibility to pursue what you’re most interested in" And the meaning of the word 'hustle' itself is "to move or act energetically or rapidly." No one is sure who exactly coined the phrase 'side hustle' but it sure is an accurate one — because if the definition of 'hustle' is "to move or act energetically or rapidly," anyone working 2 jobs is certainly doing precisely that! For years now, thousands of people across the nation have felt that being a notary public loan signing agent is one of the best side hustles in America today. And for many reasons! From working on your own schedule, to being your own boss, to making as much as $75-$200 per hour-long appointment. But don't take my word for it... check out this list of 9 reasons why becoming a notary loan signing agent is the best way to make extra income. The team and I here at Loan Signing System have created a five-star rated online training course for notary loan signing agents that teaches you how to make hundreds or even thousands of extra dollars a month in this niche industry... simply by walking new homeowners through their loan paperwork and instructing them where to sign. And if that doesn't sound crazy enough already, know that...

I’m frequently asked, “Mark, how do I get the highest paying notary loan signing jobs that pay $125 to $200 directly from escrow officers, mortgage officers, and real estate agents?”Getting Loan Signing Jobs From Signing Services Is Easy!
Some notary loan signing agents absolutely love signing services and databases. The idea of prospecting for business terrifies them. Being in a database like Snapdocs or 123Notary means that they simply get a phone call or text directly to their cell phone and a signing appointment falls in their lap. They are beyond happy to split the signing fee for this very reason.
However, the drawbacks of getting loan signing jobs directly from notary signing agent databases and loan signing service companies is just that — you have to split the fee. So you're only getting paid $75 to $100 per loan signing job. You also have less control over how many signing jobs you get. And you actually have higher monthly expenses because you are required to print the loan documents yourself from your home. That's why there are notary loan signing agents who bypass signing services and get loan signing jobs directly from the source: escrow officers, mortgage officers, and real estate agents. These notary loan signing agents would much rather put in a little effort up front so they can make $125 to $200 per loan signing instead of splitting the fee with the middleman and making only $100 or less for the same work. But… Have you ever wondered why signing agent training courses do not teach signing agents how to market yourself directly to the professionals at source of loan signings? How come there isn't a certification that teaches you how to get loan signings directly from escrow officers, mortgage officers, or real estate agents? By Mark Wills - Course Instructor of the Loan Signing System and Forbes Real Estate Council Member Notary Public Loan Signing agents constantly ask me is it a good idea to try to undercut the signing service and market themselves directly to the escrow officer if they got the signing through the signing service to begin with.This is a very interesting question.
I mean is attempting to undercut the very company that gave you business even ethical? Does the escrow officer mortgage officer or real estate agent agent look down upon you for trying to attempt this? And what are the down falls?...

A great question I frequently receive from notary loan signing agents is, "How much should I charge to do a loan signing job?"
There’s a lot of information on the internet today about having a comprehensive notary public loan signing agent fee strategy. Some resources and blogs tell you to set different fees based on appointment time, driving time, printing time, number of pages printed, number of people signing, and even what time of the month it is (later in the month is usually busier)...
