Talking. I'll meet you.
Let me. Mute. Okay. Hey, this is TJ with Solutions by tj. And today I am live.
I'm in Dallas. And.
One of the reasons that I'm in Dallas is because I am doing continual communication. I mean, continuing education for my real estate license. I'm like, the. The worst of the worst with that. I waited until the last minute. I gotta renew by July.
I can't hear. Can you guys hear me?
Yeah. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you.
I can't hear nobody.
Can anybody hear me?
No, but y' all can hear me.
Okay.
I can hear you. Okay, perfect.
I can hear you.
Okay, perfect.
So I'm in Dallas doing.
Doing the continuing education.
And I'm also here because I have to fill a gap in my income. And I've decided to do that by getting my insurance adjuster's license. So I got here Thursday. No, Friday. I had classes Saturday and Sunday today, tomorrow.
Then Wednesday through.
I think Friday or Saturday, I have my insurance adjuster classes. And after that, I'm gonna go head back to Houston. Anybody in Dallas on the call.
Unmute yourself. Angelia Walton. Okay, Angelia, we gotta see each other. Okay. Yes. Hey, Janice. How you doing? Long time no see. All right, so part of the reason that I wanted to come and do this joint.
Webinar today and stream it on YouTube is so that people could see, you know, the success circle mastermind, kind of get an idea of what we do. And then I'll show everybody the behind the scenes because I want to. We have to not just want to. We have to.
Grow the group. If I'm gonna keep on keeping on. We gotta grow the group.
What just happened?
Okay, so in your. When you were able to log on for these six people who are on on Stream yard, it allows you to stream it to your Facebook page or your Instagram page or some other pages, maybe YouTube. If you have those pages, please stream it so that your other people can see.
Can see what's going on.
How do you do that?
I am not sure. You have to sign up for it.
At the top of the screen, it says, stream this to your audience. And then it says to log in or create an account to send this stream to your own social account.
And it says, this page will refresh when you're done.
For some reason.
I hear the echo.
Mine stop echoing when I got off of one of them.
That may work.
Okay, I was just saying that. I was echoing. I heard an echo. So I guess it's when y' all Unmute, unmic yourselves. Then there's an echo.
If you are on the webinar.
Get off of the stream. And if you're on the stream, you can't be in two places. You got to pick one, is what I'm saying.
All right, so for the people who are on YouTube, we have a group, and our group in this group, we meet Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. And you get an opportunity to ask me any question that you have about the notary business.
And so that's what. That's what this is. It's sort of like our own Facebook group. And if you stick around, I'll show you the backside of that and what it looks like. But I want to ask my people real quick. Does anyone have any questions, any notary questions?
Oh.
Anybody?
I do have some. I was just trying to. Y' all can hear me now, huh?
Yeah, we can hear you.
Okay, good.
Far as. If you're doing a mobile. No, not a mobile. Yeah, Mobile, notary.
Are there. Should we always do an acknowledgment or juror, or is that always what we should do?
It depends on what your client needs.
So say, for instance, Ms. Tammy, if you're on notarized, they'll give you the job. And your client always lets you know. You can never tell them what they need. You can tell them the documents that are available, and you can sign the document, you know, notarize the document that they have on hand, but you cannot tell them what type of notarization is required.
So what if you're doing one and you're out and about a mobile, like you're actually going to them in person?
What.
If you are going, well, the same. The same. That. That. That always goes. You can't tell them. You can do an acknowledgment or a jurat or an oath. You can't tell them. That can tell them. Okay, so I'm. I'm speaking on the basis of if it's a loose leaf document. If it's a loosely form, right. Like the page that they have.
Okay. The page that they have doesn't have material language on it. And you have to add one of the loose leaf acknowledgments or oats. You can say something like, okay, I understand that your. This page does not have material language on it. So I will have to.
I'll have to. What is it called? Connect. It's not. Connect is the word I'm thinking about. But I'll have to add this page along with this document in order to make it relevant. Right. So.
These are what's available. You can say what I'm doing as a notary, I am authorizing and acknowledging or authorizing. Authenticating that you are who you say you are. Right. So in order to do that, there are two different documents. One says, I do so solemnly swear. The other says, I acknowledge. Right. And if you can't remember the definitions, simply look it up and show it to them.
You can definitely memorize it, but you can look it up.
I carry. I carry them with me. I was just curious as to how you determine once you get to them, which one you would need. That's why I was asking.
So if it's loose leaf something and it doesn't have, say like today I had a notary and they have two of the. Two of the documents had. Where you put your stamp and they had the notary information the way you're going to go. Then there was one document by itself and it didn't. It was just.
Informational. There was nothing for them to sign or anything like that. So.
That'S why I was asking was it. What did I need to give them an acknowledgment or a Jarrett or anything like that?
Right, I understand, but. Yeah, you do. If it doesn't happen, I did Acknowledgement.
Okay.
So I'm going to. I just googled it and normally I know, but I'm operating these two systems and I can't think. A notary acknowledgement jurat are both notary certificates that verify the identity of the document signer. The main difference between the two is the notary's role in each process. A notary acknowledgment. The notary verifies the signer's identity and ensure and ensures that the signer is who they say that they are and that they signed the document voluntarily. This type of certificate is often used for real estate transfers, powers of attorneys and contracts. The notary fills out the certificate with information such as date, location of the notarization, and date and location of the notarization. But you'll know that it's an acknowledgement because it'll have the word acknowledge. So I'm look at what I'm trying to find where you.
I'm trying to find where you would say.
Where you would. The. The language that it says.
I have one.
Okay. Typically, an acknowledgment typically includes the words acknowledged before me are similar wording. A jurat typically includes the words subscribed and sworn to are affirmed before me.
So one is you're swearing before God. The other is you're acknowledging. One is your acknowledging that you say who you are, who you say you are. The other is you are.
Swearing that you are who you say you are. And you can swear it on yourself or, or God or a higher power.
Okay.
So the point is, I'm telling you how to explain that to your client.
Okay. All right. Because I did one like this today.
Okay. And we have a question in the chat. There's another platform talking about transgender identification. If a John Smith comes to me, but. But identifies as Jane Smith, it really does not matter because you have to identify them based on.
What their state issued ID says, you are verifying their identity. So if their identity, if their identification, state issued identification says that your name is John Smith, I have to identify you as John Smith. I'm not identifying your sexuality.
So if, if they are to go through the entire change and change, you know, entire process of changing everything, then they have to get their name changed legally. That legal name change will be on all of their state issue documents. So that's my thought. Anybody else.
Anybody else have any ideas about it? A roast sandwich kind of thing? So if there's leftover meat, you're welcome.
Sounds good.
And then I saw a recipe for.
Hold on, let me make sure everybody.
Okay.
All right.
All right. Any other questions?
Did that answer your question?
BG Mobile notary.
It answered my question.
Okay, good, good, good, good, good.
Everyone. Good evening, latonya. I have a few questions.
I got my Google page up.
I received 25 clicks on it, I guess. Or 25 views on it with a.
Two days I haven't gotten yet.
I know, right? But I'm wondering what, what are my next steps?
I'm almost finished reading through all of.
The training and the videos that I purchased. And so what do I do after that?
Okay, so number one, what is your. Can you put in the chat the link to your Google business page?
Okay. And where are you located right now? Yeah. Where are you located? I'm in Katy, Cypress area. Do you work for Centerpoint?
No.
Okay.
There was a Latonya C. Johnson when I worked for Centerpoint Energy. Okay. Yeah, put. Put your, put your thing in the chat. What's the name of your business is.
LJ's you can notary service.
Oh, I was talking to you via. And is that on your Google business page? It's.
What you told us to put.
Notary near me. Notary near me.
Okay, so I'm explaining this.
You were in Katy, Texas. All right, so this is pretty good.
This will.
This will take us into.
Into the next thing that I'm going to teach because your name still needs to be Notary near me. It could even be Notary near Me. Katie, Texas.
That the last part of that name. You kind of got to leave that off because you're diluting the reason for naming it what you're naming it. Everybody make sure that y' all are muted.
Yeah, it's downloading it. So. So put your total name in the chat for me and then put the link to your Google business page so I can look at.
Okay. While she's doing that, do we have any other questions?
I did.
Consistent or. Yeah. So I need to have my. My business page.
My.
What do I mean? My business email needs to be the same. No renew. Yep. And you can do all. You can do all of that through namecheap when you buy the notary near me. Blah, blah, blah, blah. You can buy the. The email address as well.
You need to buy it. What you need. I'll show you. I'll show you. Okay. Hey, Ms. Lisa. How you doing? You have a.
You can unmute yourself and ask.
Good evening, everyone. How's everyone doing today?
Good. How are you?
I'm doing well. A question that I have to ask, and this goes to the Mystery Shopper, or are we just on topic of just notary?
We're doing just. Just Notary right now. Yeah, we can do the mystery shopping. You can get my number and call me for that, or we'll do it at the very end when we're off of YouTube.
Okay, that sounds good.
Okay.
One other question, and it is relating to.
Notary. So if I was told that.
Sometimes when you get started, you have. You start with a little bit of money, if that's what you have.
To go with Google Gmail. So when I created my notary business, I did the Gmail account. What I'm hearing now is that as you scale your business, folks want to see it with a little bit more legitimacy and they feel as though instead of gmail.com, just your name@your company.com. like that.com minus the Gmail gives you a better, I guess notarized. Not notarized, but a better presence. A more valid presence. Is that true?
Think about it. Think about how you feel when you. When you are dealing with a business and you see@gmail.com versus@walmart.com. right.
Okay, so.
I. I see what you're saying. So if you start off one way and you've put out Materials and stuff. With all of that, you. You want to capitalize on that.
But.
To go and buy, because I think at this point, to do the dot com, you would have to go ahead and purchase. So now this is making more. Putting more of an investment.
Right.
To, to become more, I guess, legitimate.
I guess you can call it.
Even though we all are.
So, so what, what all. What all printed material have you put out? Let me ask you that.
So instead of business cards, I went on Canva Vista Print. And I like the magnets rather than business cards because people throw away business cards all of the time. So at least when I hand out, I'll hand out my magnet and they could put it on their filing cabinet, on their refrigerator or wherever. So that's really what I usually do. So I have this. I invested in a whole bunch of pens that now are no good. Because what I didn't know is when you get a Google phone number and if you don't use it, Google will say, oh, I'm going to remove you. So that ended up happening to me, but it was after I made a couple of hundred dollars investment in getting all of these pins with my Google number, my email address, and my name.
And then flyers too.
So have you passed it all out?
No, they're sitting in boxes.
How long have they been sitting in those boxes?
For a year.
Yeah, so.
Because now the Google. The Google number no longer exists. So I ended up getting a second line. So I have an actual legitimate phone, business phone number dedicated to. To just my notary business now.
Okay.
Understood.
Oh, I'm not a big com. I'm not a big, big proponent of throwing stuff away, but there is a better way to do that. Like, there is a better way for you to capitalize on that naming thing. And like, we were like, I always tell y', all, you're naming your business so that people can find you online. Right. That's your. You're not naming your business to be cute to you. It's. It's not about you. It's 1000% about other people following finding your business. So you are working smarter, not harder.
Does that make sense? Okay.
It does.
Okay. Recording in progress. So thank you for reminding me to record that. Whoever told me it's being recorded on, on YouTube as well. All right, so let me. So let me talk a little bit about that naming convention. So the email address, not that big of a deal if that's already on your printed material. Cool.
But ideally, this is how I want y' all to name your business. And let me show. For the sake of Latonya. Latonya, let me show you how to. How and where to.
How and where to see. Can y' all see my screen on. On the website? Can everybody see my screen? No. Okay, so y' all can see it here. Let me see if I can choose presented here. And let me see if it's about to be an echo.
Okay, now can everybody see my screen?
Yes.
All right, perfect. Okay, so, Latonya, I'm using Google Chrome right now. This is Google Chrome. If I want to go to my Google page, I'm going to simply. Chrome is the best thing to use. But let's say you don't have Chrome. I'm going to type in Google Business Profile.
And here it is. Okay. And then I'm going to.
Somebody mute yourself, please. Let me see if I could change this without it. I don't know if it's gonna do that right.
I'm scared to do it because I'm not sure it's gonna do it right. So let me.
Sign in.
And you're signing into the wrong one. Okay, so let me sign in. You're not gonna do it? Oh.
Nah.
Stop it. There it is. Okay. All right. So.
Normally when you first go to a new Google page, you can type in Google Business Profile.
And that page is going to come up on this page, but because I'm on another screen, it's not allowing me to do that. Let me see if I switch over.
Okay, so I'm going to.
Make that screen large. Then I'm going to go here and type in Google.
Business.
Profile. Click Enter and. Okay, so at the very top of the screen, as soon as I type in Google Business Profile, it gives you my profiles. So I can click View my profile.
And then if I want to share the link with somebody, I click this carrot and it says, ask for reviews. I can click that and it'll allow me to see the review link and I can copy that link and then I can paste it into the chat. So that's what I want you to do. Latonya, do you understand that you can get off the my. I mean, off of.
The thing if you need to. I'm.
I'm gonna try.
I'm not computer savvy, but I'll try.
Okay, so. So you want me to go through it one more time?
Yes, ma'.
Am. And I'm gonna write it down.
Okay, so I'm coming to a blank screen.
And I'm in Google Chrome. So I'm gonna type in Google Business Profile.
Okay, click Enter and it's either gonna tell you to log in down here, sign in to continue to Google Business Profile, or your profile will automatically come up.
Okay?
Then I'm going to click View Profile. I'm going to come to this. This carrot thing. I don't know why they call that a carrot, but I'm coming here and then I'm clicking on Ask for Reviews.
And when I click on Ask for Reviews, this thing comes up and I can just hit these two buttons right here.
One moment.
All right.
Okay. So with the naming of your business, I'm gonna go back to where I.
Because we still don't quite understand this, y'. All, and I want everybody to be on the same page. Now, let me say this for the sake of.
Let me say this for the sake of everyone who is joining us online and who is not a part of the success Circle Mastermind. We got a secret.
That we've been keeping to ourselves, honey, because we didn't wanna everybody to know. And we've been trying to, you know what I'm saying? I ain't really want to give it to y' all because I wanted all my people.
To do it first so that we can, you know what I'm saying, be at the very top of the search engines. That's important because that, my friend, is how your business is seen first.
So I'm gonna give you. I'm going to show you what I mean real quick.
Because it's important. The first person that shows up nine times out of nine people are like me and don't feel like looking all over the world for something, so they gonna go with the first one. That's just what it is. They. They don't feel like doing all of the rigamarole to find somebody, so they are gonna go with the first company they see. So I'm gonna type in Notary Near Me because that's what people type when they're looking for anything. They're typing in Notary Near Me. Dallas.
Make sure you unmute, y'. All. Okay? Notary Near Me. Dallas DFW Mobile. Notary that comes up first. Look at the importance of how many reviews this person has.
Dallas Online Mobile, Notary Admin Mobile, llc.
Dallas Daily.
All of the ones.
Except this middle one.
They have a lot of reviews. They're in the hundreds, right? When we get to 125 reviews, normally they say we start showing up in the Google business search engines.
This is Bishop's arcs, Bishop Arc, Oak Cliff Notary Public. But it just Knows that it's Dallas. But if you're typing in, let's say notary near me, I'mma say notary near me, Houston.
And I have not done mine right yet, because I still need to. I still need to post. But when you have notary near me, Houston, and you've done the work with getting all of your.
Reviews, you see these reviews. This is a lot of reviews these people have. Reviews are extremely important regardless of what your name is.
However, if you are doing everything that you need to do to make sure that you have both the reviews and, and the name that people are searching for, then you're going to come up first in search. So let me see what happens if I do this.
Okay, So I have only 20 reviews. Notary near me Houston. It didn't come up. I only have 20 reviews.
All of these other people have way more reviews than I do. So guess what? That means I need to work on my reviews. Other people have on site services. That means that some of these people are brick and mortar. Online appointments, you know, on site services open 24 hours.
But even, even this lady who's been doing this, you know, for seven plus years, she has a lot of reviews. Do not skip out on those doggone reviews. So I'm going to teach y' all today how I decide that you name your business. All right, what to name your business, what we've been doing in order to get to the top of the search engines. And I'll show you why. Right now I'm going to do the research at Google Ads.
Okay, I'm going to go into this ad account.
I'm going into this ad account and under tools, going to keyword planner.
And then I'm going to discover new keyword. Now this is how you know what people are searching for in your area when they're looking for a notary. So I'm just going to type in the word notary and hit enter. And then down here that I just highlighted, it says United States. I'm going to click on that. Now, I don't want to know what people all over the United States are searching for. I want to know what people are searching for in Houston.
Right? So I'm gonna click on. You know what, I'll do it for, for Katie, since Ms. Latonya is in. Katie. Okay? So it says Katie has 263,000 people.
And I'll do Houston also.
And this will include Houston. You see, there are two of them. One is just Houston, the other is Houston. And the rest of the Demographic area. I'm going to type in. I want the largest area possible, which will include Katie. If you can see, Katie is right here. This is where it's saying Katie. Okay, so I'm going to click save, then I'm going to click get results.
All right, so I'm going to scroll down.
The word notary alone gets 6,600 average monthly searches.
Notary near me. The exact words notary near me gets 27,100 searches.
So do you want notary, or do you want notary near me in your name?
The exact words notary near me gets what, doggone near four times the traffic as just the word notary.
All right, so I'm going to do something else. I'm going to remove the word notary, and I'm going to type in Katie, Texas.
Oh, you know what? I'm gonna type in Katie, Texas.
And I'm gonna click get results, because I want to see how many people are searching for Katy, Texas. Now, that's a large number. That's way more than I thought. Katy, Texas.
Katy, Texas alone is getting 6,600 average monthly searches. That's crazy.
Katy, Texas. Just the words Katy, Texas.
Okay, so I'm going to change that. Well, I'm going to add Houston, Texas.
Just so we can see them both.
All right, so Katie is getting. If that's your area, the way that I decide what my area is, where I work is based on.
Where I am most of the time. So it'll be between my house, my child's school, and my job or my office.
People looking for Katy, Texas, 6,600. Houston, Texas, 110,000.
Separated. Look, separated where you have Houston space, Texas, it's lower. 33,100 people. So even if your name, Ms. Latonya, was notary near me, Katie, Texas, you'd be doing very well. That is, you'll get traffic from notary near me and traffic from Katie, Texas.
Does that make sense? Yes, ma'. Am.
Thank you.
All right, so I'm going to take it a little further.
And I am going to go to name cheap.
And y', all, this works for any business. You can go to Google Ads and look up for any business what it is. So I recommend that if you're going to get this name by. It's posted now, baby. You're gonna have to get it like, asap. So I'm gonna type notary near me.
Katie, Texas, and click enter.
And it's available. Notary near me, Katie, Texas is $10.28 for the year now she was asking me about the email. So if I add this to my cart.
It'S automatically going to bring up these other services. And I would get. I would add as a service this free trial business email.
And I'll show you what that all adds up to in a minute. Let me go to my cart so you can see.
Okay, so this pro email, if I do it for one year.
It adds up to 4,188.
But they had a special on these doggone emails recently where we were getting it for doggone near $12. So let me see. Let me go back.
I'm gonna type on business email.
All right.
Okay. So starter professional business email. All we need is one mailbox. This is the mail deal. One mailbox.
This is the code. I'm gonna copy that code, click get the starter.
That's 1488.
Okay. That's $14.88. So I'd go back to my chart and I remove this pro ebay because it's 41. And I go back over there to the one that was $14.
You get to that again by clicking email and then business email. I want to use a domain in my cart.
Select the domain notary near me, Katie, Texas, and then you add that to your cart.
Now I'm clicking View Cart.
I'm gonna click confirm my order and it's gonna make me log in. But the point is that you can use that coupon and it's gonna bring off information. It's gonna bring that total down.
So you won't be paying that total price. Control v. Mine looks a little weird because I've been doing too much. But for that email, you. You're not going to pay that full price.
One moment.
One other thing that you can do. Let's say Katy, Texas is not available. Let's say you go all the way back here and notary near me, Katy, Texas, is not available. Put a hyphen in it anywhere and see if it's available then.
So I put it between notary near me hyphen, Katie, Texas. But I can put in notary hyphen near me, Katie, Texas.
Okay.
All right, so let me stop the screen share real quick.
And where y' all at?
Hold on.
Stop. Okay. Somebody had a question.
Do you have to pay for a host on that business email? Somebody else was talking real, real quick. Hold on. Oh, sorry, Tammy, you're talking. We can't. We can barely hear you.
Okay.
Can you hear me?
Yeah.
Okay. On the. When you're in. In the area that you were in just now where they had the. The email and the domain name. Is there an easier way to get to your email? Because I've done that part, but I have to go into private email or something. I was trying to figure out how to get it connected where it just comes and I get a notification or something. All of my notifications are click. But it's not how you go on your phone or app or whatever or automatically give you a notification. Hey, you have an email in there, right?
So I connected it to my phone and my phone has an email.
If you. When you let me. I'm trying to think of it, but.
What? Well, I guess I. It's a two fold question. So in order to log into the private email, you have to go into private email. But I was trying to figure out how I can get it to come where I can have it like accessible on the phone.
Yeah.
And I just get directly to it instead of trying to log into it from the website.
Right. That's what I was about to show you.
Okay.
All right, so.
Excuse me, Tanya. When you get a chance, I want to introduce myself and then I have a comment.
Okay, absolutely. Let me answer her question and I'm gonna come right back to you. And were you talking just a moment ago?
No, I was trying to find the screen.
My mute was like, okay, so I got one more person ahead of I have Tammy, then one other person and then I'll get to you. Is that okay?
Yeah, that's fine. It's a technical input that I just wanted to give to help everybody out.
Okay.
All right, so I'm gonna share my screen with y'.
All.
Then I'm going to.
Share my screen here. Entire screen.
All right.
Okay. The question that she asked me was, oh, namecheat. All right, so now there are a few things that you can do after you make a purchase. Let me go on and log. Log in.
This is too hard. Let me see.
That. My. My comment is vers. Is.
Is.
Is. Is based on name cheat. I. I have some input about name cheat. Okay, so I'm. My name is Angela Bonner Linton. I actually own a website agency. So I build websites. I do not like namecheat. I do not recommend namecheap.
I love there is.
Because the reason being is for that reason that question she just asked, how do I get into my email from them? So Google Workspace runs the business email. That platform is the strongest. There's a company name.com n a n e dot com. You can buy your domain there you can also buy a startup Google Space Google Workspace, which will give you access to business email. In a Google Workspace email, what you do is you log into Google work, you, you set up your Google Workspace and you would log into Gmail like a regular account and you'll be able to access your email. So anywhere you have Gmail downloaded, you can access that Google Workspace account. That also gives you the same access to a Google Admin fold admin board which also gives you access to your Google Analytics and other Google business tools. As a person that builds websites, I 100% recommend Google Workspace. It is about the same time, same cost. It is a lot more user friendly with the DNS you automatically just filter in and load your MSS for your access to, to, to, to say that you own that domain for your email address. Because you will have to do all of that to connect all of that. It's just, I heard the name cheat and I just signed in because you were giving some, some good gems and I was looking at it from Angelia's Facebook page and I was like, oh.
She'S, she's speaking truth.
Because it's one of the things that I tell my clients. I use namecheap. I can use name cheap. I'm not a fan of it. So when my clients have nameche, I try to get their domain transferred out of there.
So what domain, what domain host do you use? Because, because.
Google no longer does domain.
So mine personally is through Squarespace. So they run everything. Name.com is, is, is where you, you can buy your domain from. They actually have a contract where you can actually buy your domain as well as a Google Workspace account. So you will pay for your domain. I just got one for a client Yesterday. It was 42 total. It was their Google Workspace starter for one year as well as their domain.
How much was it? $40.
42.
42. And that's name.comname.com.
Okay.
So I, I've used namecheap for a long time. That's why I like it. I hate GoDaddy with a purple passion. My website is on Squarespace. But this is a what you're on now. I teach people how to make money as a notary, right? And so.
Even with creating our websites, I try to give them for the people who are not techie who need a website, who don't have a whole, whole bunch of money. I teach them the easiest way possible to do it.
Oh, and I 100 agree with you. Right? I'm like I own my own website agency, but I'm 100 to into promoting black businesses.
Right.
So promoting us to help them. You were given some gems.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Because you had some chance.
Thank you so much.
I just knew about Ring.com and a lot of people don't know about it, so I wanted to put that out there to have access to Google Works. Did you get a chance to talk to Sammy?
Hold on. Can you, can you mute yourself? Hold on one second.
Patricia. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Thank you so much. No, that is a resource. So thank you for that. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So you said name.com. i had never heard of name.com. name.com and squarespace, name.com.
And you can, you can actually get your domain from name.com like right there where it says search domains. You can do the same thing. You can purchase the domain and then they have other things. When once you put in whatever you put search and then say you want to purchase it, then it'll ask do you want any more products? It'll ask you about wix. It'll ask you about some other stuff. And then the next thing is a Google business starter. It's like $3 a month a year is what it totals out to. And then they give you a 15 off coupon for a new customer. The code is who is capital A.
W H O I S.
Okay, so this is the Google. That's it.
That's Google workspace.
And you can add this to your card and get a business email with the workspace.
Yes.
Notice it's annually. Right. So it's going to be a total of, with the coupon $30.60 plus the price of your domain.
Okay, so just looking at this, this is a little itty bitty bit higher because we can get just the email address for 1488 and then the domain for, then the domain for 10, I think 1048 plus 1488. So we had $25. If we go this route.
What'd you say? Oops, there was a problem adding one or more item. Why I say add. Okay, there you go. If we go this route.
And it's not always about.
Continue to my shopping cart. Okay, so it's a difference of, of about $10. So we're at 2525 something. And this is third to 2536 and 3632.
Put your code who is in and get the 15 off. Where it says promo code.
Promo code, who is.
Apply? Promo code.
Apply.
Do I need to put maybe capital it's capital letters.
I know is how I see it.
Maybe it won't let me do it because I'm not logged in.
But let me do it. Let me do it manually. So 36, 32 minus 15%. Right.
So that'll be $30.87. So I mean, they're, they're comparable $5. It just depends on which one you want to use. Thank you so much for that. I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. But if you, if you did want to use namecheap, you just come over here, go down to their knowledge base. It's all the way at the bottom where it says help center. Knowledge Base. What did I do? Help Center. Knowledge Base. Click on Knowledge base and then search private email account set up to iPhone or Android and it'll give you all the steps to do.
So. That's what I was going to show you.
Do you use, do you use namecheap for the domain? Do we. But you mentioned another one. I forgot the name was a duo, not duo.
Hold on one second.
Right. Durable.
Durable, yes. So you use where. Use those two, the domain and the email address.
And.
But take it to Durable for the website. Is that correct?
Okay. So durable.
Hold on.
Or do we just use namecheap for all of it?
No, Durable is for the website. Durable is an AI.
Durable is an artificial intelligence. Way to create your website in five minutes.
So just to slow down a little bit for the people who aren't as tech savvy, number one, we went through how to name your business. We found that all over the United States people are using Notary Near Me. And then whatever your area is, then you go over to namecheap, see if that name is available. Notary Near Me, blah, blah, blah. Or like in the instance of Latonya, Notary Near Me, Katie, Texas. Then you add a professional email address. So it'll be latonyaotary near me, katytexas.com then you come to the web address portion.
Before I go to the web address I want. I mean the website I want to take. Somebody else had a question.
Real quick.
Anybody?
I have a quick comment.
Okay.
On the Google Business page, if you end up using social relate to post your postings to Facebook and Google Business, do not put your phone number in there because it will kick it out. It violates their privacy rules on Google Business. You can't put it in the ad.
So just FYI, I did it. Didn't know, but got it fixed. Also, I was reading when you ask for reviews, also ask them to include your city or the area that the document was notarized in, because Google will pick up on that for areas.
Also, if you have reviews and you haven't responded to those reviews, respond when somebody leaves a comment. Don't just leave them hanging out there, respond back to them.
I love it. Those are Jim.
Yeah. And today I actually notarized some. Someone was buying a car and they had affidavit, airship and a bill of sale, and they found me on Google from another state.
Hallelujah. Yeah.
Yeah. So anyway, I just wanted to share those tips.
Just so you know, myself.
Can you do me a favor and put those tips in the chat? Sure. And I'll add them to the other chat as well. Tammy, if you're saying something we can't hear you, you got to flip your thing down. If you were talking to us. You in that headset, you trying to be fancy? We can't hear nothing.
I said, did you do the. That notary that you were talking about you got off of Google? Was it remotely since you said it was from a different state?
Yes. We were supposed to do it on Friday and it didn't happen because the owners, it was a. For a deceased parent and they couldn't find the title. So after we had it scheduled, I said, well, just let me know and, you know, we can do it later. Well, they called me and wanted me to. They messaged me at 10 o' clock last night wanting to do it today and already had an obligation, but I told them where I would be and then I would be willing to come meet them outside in the parking lot. And so they came to me.
Oh, okay. Cool.
So.
Good. Great.
Thank you.
Awesome.
Okay.
That other question may have been mine, but I'll save it for later because it's not notary.
Okay.
Okay. Anybody? Ms. Patricia, you have a question?
No?
Okay.
