Live YouTube session ("SunDay Funday") by LaTonya Johnson (Nov 23, 2020). Johnson greets viewers, reports technical hiccups, and announces upcoming paid training (Apostille modules by "Machiavelli") and a mystery-shopping package with virtual shops optimized for COVID-19. She gives practical guidance for notaries and notary signing agents (NSA): recommended platforms (Snapdocs, Amrock, Coast to Coast, SigningOrder), certification route (National Notary Association/NNA), insurance recommendations (E&O $50k+ preferred), equipment suggestions (HP printers, refurbished options), phone solutions (CallRail, Google Voice, Smartline), and safety practices during COVID (masks, car signings). The stream includes Q&A from viewers about state requirements, course recommendations (Mark Wills vs mentorship), background checks/verification times (Snapdocs ~2–3 weeks unless support contacted), and business-building tips (Google Business listing, mailing cards, referrals). Tone is informal, supportive, and community-focused.

Works. Okay, let's see if this work on works. I'm back.
Of course, I am not sure. I have two people who are on. Let me know if you can hear me clearly and let me know.
That's better. Still not good, but better.
Let me know. Hey, Tammy. Hey, Sharon. Thank y' all for coming back.
I appreciate it. Let me know if we still have issues. Okay? Very clear.
All righty. Diydie.
Hey, Machiavelli is here. Awesome.
Okay. Thank you, Mildred.
All right. I appreciate it.
Houston Mobile notary and Apostille Machiavelli is in the house tonight, y'. All. Thank you for joining us. Hey, Tammy. See Hunter. Okay, so I had a great week, right? I'm getting all situated and everything and trying to figure out, you know, my schedule. We have a lot more people. Our family is getting larger. I'm learning all of this technical stuff. And as you can see, baby, I'm. I'm still not that good at it. Okay? So just pray for me. But, hey, I got it back going, didn't I? You know, I had to shut down, come back up. Y' all here, y', all, y' all guiding me through it. You told me, just shut down and try it again. And that's what I did. Okay? So this week I have a couple of announcements. Machiavelli said give him a few more days. He's making modules for the Apostille training. We are going to charge for that Apostille training. That is his information. He deserves to get paid for it. So all of that information should be out to you sometime this week. Can't tell you exactly what day when we spoke. I don't remember what day it was, but he said eight days from today. Of course, I can't remember what day that was. So. But it's less than eight days. Y' all have it. So that's one thing. The Apostille information. For those who have purchased the.
Mystery shopping, we have some good stuff for y'. All. We are putting together a package. Since a lot of cities and states are shutting down again because of COVID 19. We're putting together a package of virtual shops for y' all that you can do virtually the ones that pay the most. And we're on the back end trying to set up some agreements with various companies to get the highest paying jobs. So look for that. That's coming soon. Also, we want to have another live Q A. I want to know who's on here, who's making money with. With the mystery shopping. Just put. Just put up A finger number one, you know, hit your screen, let me know. I want to know who's, who's doing it.
And who's doing well with it. Some people, if it's going to your spam, please check your spam and make sure that you mark my emails as safe so that you get all of the current emails from us. Also, we got a lot of stuff coming, man. I'm just excited because I'm growing everything for y'. All. Our family is growing. I brought on two people, well, three people to help me.
As you can see, the videos are getting edited. And man, I just want this to be, I don't want it to be boring. You know, I'm a lot of stuff, but.
I don't quite think I'm boring. So I'm trying to liven it up a little bit. So if you see me acting silly on videos, well, you know, that's just who I am. I'm a little silly. I'm, you know, I do it all.
Sing, dance, rap. Yeah, I'm just playing no rap. But I am silly and I like for stuff to be exciting instead of boring. And some of this notary knowledge, the basics can be real boring. But I have a lot of trivia for y' all because there are some basics that you have to know and I want you. I'm making playlists so that you can play certain sections in a playlist and as you're going throughout your day or riding in your car, you can just turn on that playlist and start memorizing, getting into your good spirit. Some of those definitions, right? Definitions, various words, various industry related topics that you need to know. I'm creating all that content for you, so make sure that you have the comments on and that you are looking for me. Because I'm looking for y', all, man. I'm looking for y'. All.
You making money with the notary shop. Mystery shopping. Thank y'. All.
Tammy, Miranda say this money is not a game.
Miranda makes me want to move to Florida. She sends me jobs where it's like a 50 job with a 50 bonus where they do that at. Yeah, yeah, it's nice. Good money, y'. All. So if you are having issues like buying your supplies, you know, I'm changing my, my view on this because I'm now thinking that people should start mystery shopping before they start buying all of the supplies for the notary stuff and allow that mystery shopping opportunity to fund your other businesses. Right? Because you can easily in one week pay for a printer. And we, we all know Those printers are 2 to $400. So that's a, that's a good amount of money.
And I want y' all to be good. For those of you who are reaching out to me, like I said, this is not my information. I can't always give it to you for free. If I'm getting information from other people to give to you, they have, you know, they do things differently. Everybody is. I'm making it as affordable as I can. But if you're having an issue, contact me and I'll do my best. That's all I can promise. I can't promise that I can just give it to you, but I'll do, I'll try. I'll do what I can.
Okay. Kari said, I got, let me, let me put her on. She said, I got 25, six dollar reimbursement to go to Kroger's and buy some lunch. Me, I had said, oh, wow, lunch meat. Okay.
Hey, Karen. So I'm gonna put the link for the mystery shopping up at the bottom.
There's the link for mystery shopping.
All right, Karen, what dress? Oh, this is the shirt, y'. All. So.
I had to go shopping so I could. I, you know, I'm trying to YouTube grow up. I can't be a YouTube baby forever. I'm trying to put a little makeup on, give my little surroundings and everything my light camera action together. Yeah, yeah. This is a shirt. So I got a whole bunch of tops now with these, with this top. Don't get it twisted. Your girl got on shorts and looking real crazy up under this table. So this is just the top that's all together. Okay.
But thank you, thank you, thank you. It's very nice and sexy and conservative. Thank you, Dolores. I appreciate it. Yeah, I did my little autumn colors and everything.
Miranda said, look, Miranda said she's being conservative. You could pay for a print in three days. That is true. I. With mystery shopping. With that, with that opportunity, man, I mean, you can just pay for everything. And also, you know, if you balk at prices, if you're, if you don't have the money to pay for stuff, get on the mystery shopping because the thing that Mavelli is coming out with is going to be awesome. It's going to walk you through everything that you need to know about the Apostille opportunity. And it's probably going to cost about $350. $350. Doing the mystery shopping. You can make that in three days.
I'm crazy, so I can make it in one day. Because I just go bananas with stuff like that. You know, I overdo it. Don't, don't be like me. I tell my dog, hey, take the good, don't take the bad. I overdo it. I know I do. So, yeah, get on that because it's real important, but it's going to be worth it. And it's stuff that's going to change your life. And you know the Apostille thing, man, that's, that's awesome money. I've talked to a, a couple of people about it. I know you guys have been reaching out to Machiavelli about the Apostille thing, the tax thing, his business on insurance. All of that stuff is awesome. Make sure that you have your base and that you can afford stuff. And let me tell you that $100 for the mystery shopping is sort of a no brainer because you can get your money back in a day or less. And for the people who are going through that email and calling me or emailing me saying, tj, I'm disappointed. I wasted my money. I looked on the app and all, I see there's nothing in my area.
I sent out a lot of links. Do not just look at the first link and contact me. Don't not go through all of the information and then say that you're disappointed. You. I.
It ain't nothing else for me to do. I gave it all to you. You have to look through everything. Take your time. I know that y' all are excited. Take your time and go through it though, because you have everything that you need to make money. I promise you. There are shops in your area. Everywhere there is commerce. Commerce meaning people are buying stuff. You have stores to buy groceries, you have gas stations, you have hotels, you have.
Whatever people are making money doing. Yeah, there are shops for it. And so we put together a list of some awesome shops for vacations where when you go on vacation, you can do shops, man, and make a freaking killing. Not only that, I mean, you could just use the shop as its own. It's crazy. Wait till y' all see this new stuff. Oh, I'm excited about it. And I have some collaborations coming up with a few people. The notary institution is one of them. Notary to notary is another. And keenly, Keena and I have hooked up. We're going to be doing some fun stuff, so I'm looking forward to that as well.
And.
Yeah, Dolores, Dolores gave some good information. If you do not have the money for a print printer, a brand new printer, buy it refurbished. I raised my right hand a la Tanya Johnson. My HP is a refurbished HP and it still costs 400. I don't know why, but, you know, it has a warranty. I'm good with it.
Shot 300. What's rude? What did I do? Rude?
Care what I did? Rude. Nice. It's probably, yeah, I might be okay, so. And. And you know what I. I have to say to y'. All, I'm human. I make mistakes. I am not perfect. I am not Jesus. I do. And. And, yeah, and some things y' all do or some people do. I can't say, y', all, but some people. It. It. You know, I have feelings. I bite back sometimes. I try not to, and I try to be as professional as possible, but, man, I've been called a lot of stuff. Y' all would be surprised. So shy. What's rude? What I do rude? Just go and tell me. I try to do better, girl.
Karen, you are very welcome.
Do we have to call? What company?
Do you have to call what company? I don't know what company you're talking about.
Absolutely. In New York. Sharon, Are you kidding me? Absolutely. You can do it in New York. Yes.
There's so much to do in New York.
Oh, okay. Okay. Shot. Okay, girl. Cause you know, I'm.
Okay. So here's Sean, you need to do the full jurat. What do you mean? I put together a whole video on the jurat, and you talking about I need to do the full jurat shine. I don't know what you're talking about.
Let me send Sean a link so he can tell me what he's whining about. But did y' all see the jurat video? I thought it was pretty good. I thought I was really. I call myself really doing something with that. I had a whole presentation and everything, and. Yeah.
No, I didn't do it. Okay.
Yes. So Mildred. Mildred Bean said there are plenty of shops in New York. Plenty of them.
Okay. Dolores, you said. Did I get your email? How can anybody I know? Yes, Dolores, I did. And I love you so much. Oh. You encouraged my soul. Thank you for contacting me, because that was a day you just never know what other people be going through. And I had just gone through a whole bunch that day. I took a lot of blows. I don't know what was going on, but you know, you know those days. And so, thankfully, I have people like you and people like Tiana and Ashley and Nico and Sean in my corner, who all encourage me and just keep me uplifted. And, and good because boy, I work non stop. And I'm glad that today, for once, this is the first Saturday in many Saturdays, I was able to just go over my sister's house, my older sister, and just eat her food and just go to sleep. I haven't done that in the longest because I'm steadily working steadily trying to put out new content and trying to make sure that y' all have everything because I know it gets tough around here.
I understand that 1000%.
So I want y' all to be good. Whether or not the city's shut down, whether the state shut down, I want you to be good and have everything that you need. That's super important to me.
And Sean, I sent you the link.
I know, Carol. I'm really excited about it.
Hey, Dolores, this chat is just a chat. I don't really have anything to talk about but to update y' all and get questions from you. Like I said, we have new notary, new mystery shopping information that'll be coming out soon. We have, we're doing another.
Mystery shopping Q and A. So email me your questions. TJ Solutions by tj.com for the mystery shopping Q and A if you have any questions at all.
Yeah.
Okay, tc, I got you.
Everybody is asking that question.
Msm, how long does snapdocs take to verify people?
You know what I think? Because so, because so many people are contacting them, it's taking them at least two to three weeks from what I've seen.
So give them time. But in the meantime, I'm doing a video that we're putting out this week and I'm gonna give y', all, just because you're here, I'm gonna give y' all a little spoiler. And these are companies that I've already talked about. Right. I'm doing a video about the five signing companies that you need to sign up with today in order to get jobs. Snapdocs is on that list. But man, Amrock.
My cousin, couple of my students are making a full time living off of Amrock Firma. Right? Don't go, don't go low on coast to coast because those $30 jobs add up, y', all, and they don't take that long. Like Nico has quite a few of them and we're going to go through her paperwork. I'm excited about that. She's finally gotten into Snapdocs. But.
Those $30 jobs give you an opportunity to get your feet wet. Get, get comfortable with the docs, get comfortable with being in front of your clients. So don't don't shy away from those jobs because they, they. They will really help you in the end.
Okay? Ben, do me a favor about the Coronavirus Survival Guide.
Email me TJ Solutions by tj dot com. I mean.
I think that. Yeah, that's my email address, tjolutionsbytj.com to let me know about that. Because you should have received information on how to look in your spam. Number one, look in your spam. But you should have received login information because that's a download. It takes you to another page and you can automatically download it. Okay.
All right, Maurice.
I live in Rocky Mountain, North Carolina. Not much here. What about real estate shopping? So, Maurice, have you gotten the, the other. Have you gotten the mystery shopping package yet? And when you say not much here, what exactly do you mean, not much here? Not many stores, not many shops. And what, what are you close to? Like, I'm in Houston. So the weird thing about Houston is you can drive through Houston for an hour and still be in Houston. So going an hour north, south, east, or west is normal to me. Whereas when I lived in Virginia, because I lived in Herndon, Virginia, and, you know, Virginia, DC, Washington, you shoot 15 minutes, you hold somewhere else. And it's like that in a lot of places on the East Coast. So I guess what I consider not far. 30 minutes away, 30 miles away. That's not far. To me, that's pretty easy. It's part of me going to the other side of Houston, but to some people, that's kind of far.
And Miranda is saying, you don't have to leave your bedroom. They have virtual shops. She's working on ones in Washington, D.C. making money. And Miranda, you don't live in D.C. correct. So you're doing them all over. That's awesome. That's awesome.
Thank you, Dorothy.
The Facebook group has really helped me with questions. Awesome. I'm glad I come in and out of there, y'. All. I'm in and out of Facebook. There was one guy named Tom. That boy. Boy, Boy. He. He.
Has some stuff going on this week.
Look in the group and you'll see what I'm talking about. The notary institution. Do you have any other companies? Like, what would you recommend? Companies that you'd recommend that they need to get on, like, right now to start getting jobs? Because some people just, you know, snapdocs is becoming like, where if you're a new notary public loan signing agent, it's taking a while, number one, for them to verify you. And then once you are Verified. They are not sending notifications to a lot of not. It just kind of depends because I have a lot of new people in Sugar Land. One guy is killing it and he started getting notifications like day one. But let me remind you, when you get a job, even if it's those coast to coast jobs, when you put 25 of those jobs that you've gotten into Snapdocs, Snapdocs automatically says, oh, you're killing it. Let me send you more notifications. So when you hit that 25 job mark, you'll start getting notifications. So that's another good reason to just take these small jobs. Just get your foot in the door. And don't forget what I said about calling these title companies, right? If they are working with someone and you can do something for a cheaper price, they might take it and try you out. You just never know.
So take a look at it.
Sean, I cannot look at your text while I'm on live. Okay. Just contact Snapdoc support. Oh, wow. So Johnny said, just contact snapdoc support and they'll. They'll verify you the same day. That is awesome.
Thank you, Ashley. I'm so excited about Ashley. Yay. She's working with me, y'. All.
Miranda, I love coast to Coast. I'm a preferred notary over there. Exactly, exactly.
Yeah, Johnny, I mean, those $30 jobs, man. Put that in when. When in snapdocs. And I'm telling you, they'll start sending you other stuff.
Okay. Do you have to do notary jobs before we start working as an nsa? No, I was a notary long before I became a notary public loan signing agent, but that doesn't matter. You can go directly into learning how to be a notary public loan signing agent so you don't have to stair step and do one thing and then grow up to do another. You can just go right into it.
Camille, would you recommend a separate cell phone number for your notary business? I've heard many different opinions on this. Any other options? So, Camille, I use a service called Call Rail. C A L L.
I'll put it down here. C A L L R A I L dot com.
And what CallRail does is it'll give you a business number. I can't remember how much it costs, but it ain't much. It ain't more than 25amonth. But I use that for different businesses. That's why I have it. I have up to 10 numbers on call rail and I use it for notary real estate and just all other kinds of stuff. We have a child care business. My little cousin has a photography business. So we have numbers, all kind of numbers for all kinds of stuff. But if that's what you want to do, feel free. That. That is a good idea. Now, do you have to have a separate phone? I don't know. I'm kind of funny because I don't mind giving people my number. Like, I don't know, maybe that's not the safest thing. I'm trying to figure it out. I don't. I'm probably not the best person to ask that question because I just give my number out, and I don't care. I'm not attached to my telephone number where I can't change my number. So.
That'S my opinion. I give my own person. What do I do? I give my own personal number out, especially the signing companies, because I don't want to not have that phone. Like, I can't keep up with this one phone. I have this thing called tile. I don't know if y' all have heard of tile, where it'll find your phone and find your keys. It's so much going on in my brain until. Yeah, I can't be carrying two phones, girl. I can't find one. I have.
What's the number one thing you do to protect yourself during COVID 19? The number one thing that I do to protect myself, in all honesty, I. Well, I'm ocd, so I wash my hands a lot anyway. It's a little bit about me, and I definitely wear my mask. And, you know, I'm still not that person that's out and about a whole lot. I don't. Still don't like large crowds. I want to go somewhere and socialize and chill, but I don't want to be the only weirdo in there looking with a mask on, because I don't feel comfortable just being with a whole bunch of people without a mask. I just.
I don't want to. I can't. I don't feel like it, and I don't feel like being sick. So I avoid large crowds, and when I have to go places, I'm wearing my mask, and I have hand sanitizer, and I'm constantly sanitizing my hands.
And washing my hands. That's how I'm protecting myself. And during. When COVID 19 first started for signings, I was telling my. My mentees, listen, let people know. Let your clients know that you are in and out of houses all day. You come in contact with a whole lot of people, and in order to keep them safe as well as yourself, suggest that y' all meet in cars in a parking lot. Starbucks parking lot, well lit area. They're in their car, you're in yours. You pass them the documents through the window. They show you your ID through the window and you can take a picture of it. You know.
You can personally identify them. That's still considered face to face. And they're in the comfort of their car signing the documents. And y' all are on the phone going through the documents page by page. So that's what we did.
Okay, Maurice, you're saying you're 45 minutes from Raleigh? That's not bad.
That's not bad, Maurice. There's plenty of stuff in Raleigh, I'm certain.
And like Miranda said, there are plenty of virtual shops, so you really don't have to go anywhere.
Y' all are so welcome.
Google Voice is good.
Google Voice is awesome. Okay, so y' all know how this thing.
You can get any notary to swear you in solo. Swallow. Ms. Swallow. So low. Anybody can swear you in any notary. So if you need to, you can go to your bank and they can do it.
Dolores Snapdocs. It's full of it. I've been signed up since October, signing orders for.
2.99Amonth. And I picked my zip codes. Been giving me work I was scared to go on. A lot of them could have made.
What you talk. What? What? Ms. Dolores.
Let me know. I don't understand that.
Yeah. To become a notary, a Texas notary, there is not a course, but there is a course to become a notary public loan signing agent, where you sign loan documents.
This is. Man. I'm gonna do this as a trivia question because I've heard different things. Jeanette. I've been told that Mark Wills tells people to put the documents in a certain order and take them out of the order that they're sent in. I have been told by the companies that hire me to keep all of the pages exactly as they are when they send them to you. They want all of that stuff just like they sent it to you. That's the order that they want it in. So that's what I do. I don't. I don't separate those documents. I keep the docs in the same order that they were printed in.
Linda said that she's been on two jobs through signing order, and you were able. And she was able to name her price. That's awesome.
Camille, you are so welcome.
See, Hunter, she. Okay. So you think Tom Is a prankster. Yeah, that was. That was weird. Y' all go to the group if y' all want to be. See what Tom was talking about. That was just really, really weird. It was a guy in our group that said that he had a signing and after the signing he threw the documents in the trash because he uploaded them and he didn't think that the client need. That the title company needed a hard copy of the document.
That was interesting.
That was really crazy.
Notary institution. You can get a house phone for your business credit. That is very true.
Okay, so Dolores said she has a separate phone number for her mobile, her. Her personal and her notary business. She did. Because she has a magnetic sign on her car with her business number. Yeah, that. That's a good idea.
So build with Barry. Any suggestions on how to get general notary work to supplement prior to becoming a loan signing agent? So, Barry, we have.
Last week, if you go back and look at that.
The video that we did last week, we talked about.
Doing apostille work. The apostille work does not require you to be a notary signing agent and just have your notary. You can also get. I'm gonna set up on here. I'm gonna do a video walking y' all through how to create a Google business page so that you can get the local notary business that's coming to you.
Awesome, Maurice. Okay.
Yes, she was saying the same thing. Create your Google business listing. Absolutely.
Oh.
Okay. Jt. Hi, honey. Peter north here. Old adult film star. I retired from the adult entertainment business. Would a notary want my background information to marry. What? Peter, what do you get off my line? Peter, what is.
Stop it.
Okay, where did you say. Okay, so.
It was at the bottom of the screen. The note. Mystery shopping information.
That's it. Tynerurl.com backslash remysteryshopping.
I'm on stream yard, y'. All. And you know why? You know I'll be hating away.
This thing.
Okay, thank you. Where is the course located to become a loan signing agent in Texas? They want them in exact order. That's right.
Lord have mercy.
Oh, awesome. So. So, Dolores, how is. How are the jobs at signing order? Are you doing well with that company?
Let me know so other people can sign up with them.
Okay. Houston Mobile notary and Apostille. Can you please keep the apostille course under 250?
I'm also in Sugar Land. We appreciate the info. You can't ask that man to keep his price at no 250, y'. All. He paid 500 for it.
And become a mystery shopper and get that extra little hundred dollars. Honey, it ain't gonna. You know, it's not gonna be that bad.
Notary institution. You said you can help. With what? I'm going back through these comments just in case y' all didn't know what in the world I'm doing.
Miranda, you can do a Mystery shop on your business side too. And get over a hundred dollars. Absolutely.
I pick my own zip codes with signing orders. That's perfect.
Yeah. That was crazy. That was spam.
Peter, you gonna get blocked.
Thank you, Barry. I appreciate.
Oh, wow. Miranda said for the business phone. Mystery shop pays a hundred dollars or more.
Is Mark Wills a good training course to take?
So here's the deal with that, Kim.
It depends on how you learn. That's what I tell everybody. It depends on how you learn. I learn by doing. I learned by looking at my own documents. Because for some reason, that's when it clicks into my brain that this game time is serious. So if you learn with one on one help and by doing, then your best bet is to get a mentor. If you learn by looking at a screen, going over modules and somebody talking, then Mark Will's course will probably be best for you. That's my. My take on it. I could tell you that a lot of people have who have gone through his course are still contacting me to be their mentor because they want somebody, they want that hand holding to go through their own documents. And I totally understand that because that's me too. Like, that's when it counts. I mean, because.
These documents change all the time. I have not. The only time I got the exact same documents is when I worked with the exact same company over and over and over again. And if they had a closing that was out of town, then of course their documents would even change. So.
Yeah.
I know, Sean. That's weird.
Okay, so D, I have my regular and E notary license in Texas, but I'm confused. Who's the best company used to get my notary public loan signing agent certification? D. Most people go through the NA National Notary Association. That's who I went through. That's who my whole family has gone through. You get everything there. Call them. That website is hell to pay. Call them and get it done. That's my suggestion.
Thank you, Janice. You see that?
Thank you.
Okay, CPA hustles. It looks like New Jersey does not require a course. They don't require a course to be a notary public loan signing agent. Is that what you're saying CPA hustles. Can you do it without a course? I feel like I would know what I was doing. And that's the thing. So what I would do. If they don't require a course.
I'd probably still take a course, to be honest with you. Because there are a lot of nuances in this notary signing agent stuff. And, and make sure that they don't require a course. To be a notary public loan signing agent. To be a notary, there is no course. But to be a notary public loan signing agent, most of the time there is because you're dealing with mortgage documents. So there's a distinction between those two. So check that out and, and make sure which one they're talk.
And I'd get a mentor too. CPA hustles especially.
I'd want to take a course too. I'm with you. I wouldn't feel like I know what I was doing.
Okay, Peter, I'm gonna block you, honey. Toodaloo Saint.
He gotta go. He's looking at the beautiful women. We are not here for that, but thank you.
Any minute the band is going to come from.
Yeah, die. I'm telling you.
Get it, baby. Saying it, Madison.
Oh, awesome. Rachel.
So Rachel is saying that she got a printer that I suggested this past week. Would you love for me. Okay.
Also much to notary institution. Absolutely. Rachel, give me text. I mean text me. Email me at TJ Solutions by tj.com and we'll get you squared away. Regarding the mentorship.
Michelle says I recently purchased Mark Will's course. I heard good things. You have any experience working with others who've taken his course? Michelle, I've. I've been told that there's a lot of awesome information in that course. I have. I don't knock anybody who's doing anything trying to help people. But again, it depends on you and your learning style. If your learning style is more one on one, then that course might not be for you because there's nobody holding your hand. What we do in mentorship is actually hold your hand and we're available, you know, to talk to you. Call us on the phone, you text us. I'm. I'm responding to text. 5 o' clock in the morning for people who have closings at nine. So.
Yeah.
Awesome. So y' all check this out. The notary institution. If you only have your notary right now and you have not gotten.
Certified as an nsa, go over to the notary institutions.
Channel. She's right here on YouTube. If y' all don't know. She said that she has created a course for that niche only for general notary work. So she has a whole bunch of stuff for y'. All. Go buy it.
Go pay for it. I'm certain it'll be worth it.
How do we get Ron work for loan signings?
So Machiavelli talked about this last week, and one of the things is when people contact him for just, you know, notary work, he lets them know, well, we can do it. You don't even have to leave your home. So one thing is just mentioning it to people. The other thing that a lot of people are doing are signing up with notarized. And one notary, Sean, said that notarized this last week, mentioned or announced that you can bring your own clients to the platform.
Yeah. Oh, Peter was blocked, y'. All. I don't know what he was going through tonight.
Hey, Sarah, I have not seen you in a minute.
Okay. They send jobs from $70 to $125. So far. The problem was just me having that issue I was telling you about. Okay. I was hoping I could just see the forms filled in for refinancing, Etc. Dolores, do you have my text, my. My telephone number? Because.
Yeah.
Email me one more time. You know what? Let me write myself a note.
So that I can get back with you. D E, L, O.
Okay, so I'm gonna look through my email and get back with you.
But. So, Dolores, I'm sure by now you've probably done 25 jobs. Put those jobs in snapdocs and then let me know if you don't start receiving notifications, because that. I'm telling you, Snapdocs has been a full meal for me and my family. It's good work as well. So you'll have it coming from all ends.
Oh, for the forms filled in.
So you can. They have a loan sourcing book for that. For the refinancing. You know, all types of forms.
That loan sourcing book is one way. And then in my Facebook group, you can also look in there, and I've done a video of, I think, refinancing. And you can see the vid, the.
You can see the documents filled out there. I have a whole video on us going through. I've done one and my cousin did another one where we're completing those forms.
Green fingers.
Where do I take the course to be a loan signing agent in Texas? Go to the National Notary association.
Nna.
So. Gotcha. Cpa. You said no course for the signing agent.
An exam online Exam is no course for notary public loan signing agent and exam online exam is. So an exam is required, but there's no course.
Contact the NNA and see what they have to offer because they may still have something.
Okay. So Linda says one of the main problems that new notary public loan signing agents have is getting those documents at the last minute because you still need to review and prep.
I get it.
The issue with that is a lot of times the title companies get the clear from the lender to move forward with closing at the last minute and then it trickles down to the signing company and hence you get the documents at the last minute. Any suggestions for that?
No. My only suggestion would be to don't take same day jobs when you're brand new. Take a job one or two days out to give them time to upload the documents. And that's not even a guarantee because I've done that and then still two hours before and I gotta drive an hour away and I'm fooling with them documents trying to get them prepared. So yeah, I don't really know the answer to that. It's gonna happen sometimes that you'll just have to, you know, go to your closing and you just got the docs. All I can tell you to do is read the information slowly.
Look through the pages. If you have one hour to prepare, that's all you need is one hour to prepare. If you have a mentor, look through those documents yourself. If you have a question on a page, note that page and then ask your mentor those pages. Right. Because a lot of times you don't have a question on every single page.
So.
Make sure that you go through those documents yourself because even as a mentor, when y' all get documents at the last minute and I don't know, I can't help you because then I'm busy. Right. But if you can ask me one off questions and I'm on my job trying to answer you under the table, it's a mess.
But I do answer.
In Alabama, my brother got his notary in the same day. They didn't require course our background. He just had to get $25,000 of EO insurance. Gotcha.
In Pennsylvania you have to take a three hour course before you can even fill out the application as a general notary. Wow. And then you have to pay $65 to take the exam. That's interesting.
Okay. Mike Morris says smartline is the second line on an existing phone for $10 a month.
Wichita small. It was a great course. He also highly recommends nna. I think he's talking about Mark Will's course. Verify if I'm wrong. Wichita.
I do D. Please email me.
If you need mentorship.
There it is.
Okay. What does it say when the NNA does a background check? Do they count points of the charge if it was dropped, how far back do they go? I'm in Florida. Anybody answer that? Because I don't. I'm not sure.
Notary institution. I'll normally disclose to the company that I need the documents at a certain time before I take the assignment.
That's a good idea.
Machiavelli.
When you get the docs late, call the client, notify them that you're going to be late because you now that's a good idea too. You just got the documents and also let the signing company know. Listen, I'm going to have to push this back a little bit because I'm just going through the documents. Let them know that. Do you mind if I contact the client? Push this the the time back just a bit so that I can go over the documents and then call your client and let them.
A good notary. They do not count legally dismissed discharged cases. You're answering Jalissa's question.
Okay, Shree. That's how my name is spelled. S H A R I. But there's an E on N. I work for the property department, for the county clerk. I see deeds. Deeds of trust, VA loan documents. Will this help me if I actually start paying attention to the documents when I become an nsa? It will.
Absolutely. Because you'll be helping people sign those documents. So yeah, it can help.
Golden child. Yes. In California you have to take a six hour course before you can even send in an application to the Secretary of State.
That's one of the drawbacks. With signing orders they sometimes give you one hour notice. It takes me an hour to get over the bridge after 5pm So I don't take last minute jobs.
Do I necessarily need $100,000 E&O insurance or will I be fine with 25? I have $100,000.
I recommend no less than 50 because I have seen.
With my own eyes and us owning a signing company that companies will turn notaries down for having 25 or 10. They only accept $50. $50,000 and up.
Hey Kristin, I just passed my notary exam. Do I need to go through a background check for standard general notary work and again for when? No.
Go through the nna. I know to become a loan signing agent you will have to do a background check. I didn't have to do a background check for general notary work.
Notary institution, you can. What? What does that mean?
Oh, that's so sweet. Veronica. Hey, Lucy. How are.
You?
Okay. Barry, I've heard the NNA insurance does not cover loan signing agent work. Do you recommend a certain insurance? Yes, it does. Absolutely. It's errors and omissions insurance. And they also have bonding. So yeah, I will call them. They have everything that you need. That is why they are, you know, in existence. To give you everything that you need from a notary public loan signing agent perspective.
Maurice said North Carolina requires an eight hour course at a community college and a $65 fee to get a notary.
And the notary institution. I'll provide the background check information. Awesome, awesome, awesome. Thank you so much.
Okay. What do you do when a direct ghosts you and owes you money? I'm starting to think going direct is overrated. The escrow officer won't answer the phone or my emails. Please advise. So the escrow up there's at every title company.
There is an attorney that presides over that title company. I would contact the attorney of that title company.
And if it's in your range, I'd go up there.
I don't have a problem. And. And yeah, I'd go up there and speak to the attorney. I also did a video on that today too. Y'. All. What to how to get your money.
Sean, stop it.
You're such a nut case. What happens with the signer doesn't answer the phone or return voicemails. The signer called from a different number asking where I was.
Was I supposed to show up?
So, Alicia, did you contact the signing company and let them know? Because that communication is critical. Did you contact them and let them know? Hey, I've been reaching out to the signers at the numbers that you've provided and I am unable to get in touch with them.
Can anybody. Tanya, if you go to our group.
Solutions by TJ Notary Networking and knowledge that they always list printers and tell you where they are, where to find them and how much they are. So that would be a good place too. But if anybody can answer Tanya's question about good printers.
Please do so.
Okay. Dolores Julissa, I'm in Florida. I don't think it matters because it's not recent, but call the state of Florida Anonymous, anonymously and ask.
Camille says she was told the thing. Same thing. Charl Biberg can get a million in eno coverage for $30 a month.
I think I pay way less. I'm pretty. I don't pay monthly for E O insurance. I paid a one time fee for the year and that one time fee I don't even remember but it wasn't that much. Might have been $60 and I'm certain that the NNA offers it.
Camille said for Tanya to try the HP printer on Amazon. That's a good one. I have an HP.
I think mine is a 478.
Nice to see you again too, Lucy.
Machiavelli, there's a question for you.
Can you do the apostia work completely online?
Mildred said Amazon has been getting in brother printers at a reasonable price. She just got hers this week for 320.
Oh wow. Maurice said he got he.
5200 at Office Depot.
That is a good printer. Very good printer for $179. Says is it a good idea to mail your business card to escrow officers and real estate agents? It is but I guess I'm old fashioned. I like face to face. I. I'm not good with mail.
I ain't that good with email. I'm good with face to face and phone calls. But I mean, hey, don't go with me. It might work for you.
Machiavelli said, no, you can't do it. Totally remote. It must be a wet signature.
And Lucy said Machiavelli, I started to do Apostille recently and I increased my fee due to long drive to the state secretary. Yeah.
How do I find a pastel work? Machiavelli. So Machiavelli is putting together a course. It will be available soon.
And yeah. Okay guys, we've been on here for an hour. Wow. Like this video. If you have not done so already. Show me love.
Let me know if you like the new content that's coming out for the rest of this week. I'm. I love this. I love this platform. I love coming to see y' all every Sunday. It's real casual, real simple. We drop a few nuggets and we get out of here. That's all Sundays, right?
If there's something that y' all want to see, please don't hesitate to let me know what you need. Okay? And you know, we're all one big family. We're rooting for each other. You know, we help each other out. And as you can see, the, the notary institution is over here. Man, we are one big family. Everybody just wants to help each other to grow and be able to survive during this time. It's a whole bunch of stuff going on. Oh, crazy Trump still is not out of office. He will not concede.
