Help me with document type sign travel agency agreement california

hey guys welcome back to my channel my name is leah i'm a notary a loan signing agent amongst other things my channel is all about ways to assist notaries and making money in their business but i want to bring you guys a lot more business content because i've been a business owner for a few years and there's a lot of things that i want to share with you guys but i have so much notary content that i've been pumping out since the beginning of my channel that i feel like i want to keep that momentum going so let's just jump right in today's video because today is all about how i get paid as a notary as well as what expenses that i have going out so of course as in any business endeavor you have of course you have the amount of revenue that comes into your business then your expenses that is needed to sustain yourself in business so the difference between that is your profit so i wanted to just kind of share my numbers with you guys just wanted to just talk to you guys about the ways i get paid because of course you have to have the money coming in right so there's a lot of different ways that you could get paid as a notary and it really all just depends on the company so i wanted to kind of share some of those ways number one an old-school way that you could get paid is through a physical check in the mail so that's pretty self-explanatory most companies pay like on a 30-day cycle the cycle may vary according to the company that you're dealing with so it's really important to learn when that company actually pays and more importantly to keep up with those payments because you don't want to be completing so many signings and you don't know if you've been paid for a job or not right so that's the first way i get paid is physical check so that's self-explanatory you take a mobile deposit of it get it deposited into your bank account or physically bring it to your bank to cash or deposit it so the second way that i get paid is electronic check so i just kind of wanted to talk to you guys just a little bit about this so there's a company and i'm gonna just try to split my screen to show you guys exactly how that comes but there's a company in particular that i do a lot of business with and they pay me through electronic check so when i get this check i have a couple of options i could choose to get the funds immediately and pay a fee for it or i could choose to get the funds by way of physical checks so i choose the physical check version because i don't mind waiting a couple more days for my funds because i want to have as much profit as i can without paying any additional fees because of the fact that like i said before there are expenses with your business which we will talk about in the second part of this video another thing that i was saying when it's time to partner with a new company it's really good to be able to read their policies and procedures so i was looking at my outstanding invoices the other day and i was like hey i haven't even gotten paid for this yet and this is probably about 35 days outstanding so when i reached out to the company they said oh you haven't signed and sent back your notary agreement the contents of the paper was your name the date of the signing the client's name and the file number that's it so i went ahead and submitted that to their department and hopefully i'll be getting paid for that really soon so that's not an additional way to get paid however it is something related to payments and how your payments can get held up so the last way that i get paid is through my favorite direct deposit direct deposit is my all-time fave and i think it's for pretty obvious reasons right so now that we talked about the ways that money comes into my account let's talk about the money that leaves my account in order to keep my notary business going i'm very very pleased to let you guys know that after your initial startup cost for this business my monthly reoccurring costs are very very low so my first cost is through a signing company that i partnered with they asked me to spend 2.99 just so that i could expand my signing reach and i think that this is really important i live in the metro atlanta area and as you can imagine there are a ton of cities surrounding me all within a relatively short distance all cities that i'm actually willing to travel to however if they're only looking at the zip codes of the city i live in and maybe the city next to that then it really limits my opportunity so i do pay 2.99 so that my zip codes can be expanded so that i could get more work so initially i thought that am i wasting my money with this because i think it took maybe one to two months before i actually got any work from that company so i finally got work from that company and of course the amount well exceeded what i have paid out so i think that is great i've had nothing but positive experiences with them so that's my first business expense expense number two is my tracking software so what i use to track my expenses as well as my material acts as well as the customers that i see is a site that you may have heard of before and it's called notary gadget now there are other sites out there that i just did not know about initially when i signed up for notary gadget but i have no regrets because i actually really love it so i paid 9.99 per month for notre gadget so there's an option to pay the full 12 months up front and i didn't do that because i wasn't sure at the time if i was going to um continue on in this business i wasn't sure how sustainable the business was so i didn't choose to pay the full amount up front and you do get a discount so it would have been to my advantage to do that but it's neither here nor there to me it's not really that big of a deal they give you your first 15 signings free so i really like that it gives you an opportunity to try before you buy if you will i highly encourage you to do it because your first 15 signings are free you can get started without them even collecting credit card information what i love about notary gadget is not only does it keep track of your expenses but it also lets you know if you have any invoices that are 30 days that have been unpaid or if you have invoices 30 to 31 to 60 days that have been unpaid and even longer plus it has the fact that it will send invoices to the companies that you work for if you set it up that way it's really simple to set up so i highly highly highly recommend it the other thing about notary gadget is it also computes the mouse that you actually use when you go from signing to signing and usually it will generate from your home so it may not always be accurate but notary gadget keeps up with a lot of things like that for you in addition to the invoices like i stated before so it's a huge huge plus and my another reoccurring expense is my errors in omission insurance i use the company by burke and it is a branch off from berkshire hathaway you probably have heard of that real estate company the cost for a hundred thousand dollars worth of insurance was literally one dollar cheaper than a million so guess what your girl went with of course i went with a million dollars in coverage and i'm really happy that i did because i know that no matter what signing service or title company i approach i know that i won't need to be bumping up my coverage like with another company in the event that they say i don't have enough coverage so i have a million dollars in arizona mission insurance and i basically paid 37 per month for that so that's pretty much the summation of it so i pay literally under 50 dollars just to keep myself in the business of a loan signing agent i feel like that is a excellent trade-off there are a few more companies that i've thought about subscribing to their services because i am in an attorney state and naturally in an attorney state you do some of your business is naturally taken from real estate attorneys so that's just a plain fact of the matter so it's kind of sometimes like a pay to play type situation so if i want to expand and do more signings because i do loan signing part time if i want to expand and do more signings i might actually pay to be listed with a couple of other places and once i make that final decision of course i will let you guys know and i will update you on how it's going and therefore i will be able to make solid recommendations to you if you're wondering if it might work for you as well i do want to caution you once you become a loan signing agent you will be getting emails like from everybody and there are a couple of places that will send emails to you and i don't want to call them a scam i just think that maybe they don't have enough business to send your way they might be newer companies so before you subscribe to let's say abc signing service i hope that's not a real signing service i'm not talking about them if it is but it before you subscribe to abc signing service it's really important to check them out just be as thorough as you can be there are places that offer you to be on their signing platforms for various amounts of money it could be ten dollars a month it could be forty dollars a month for various amounts of money not saying that they don't have good intentions or anything like that because i cannot read anybody's heart i do not know what their intentions are but you may not get the return on your investment so i would highly suggest you researching it before you actually go ahead and pay your money so that's basically what i do because people will always offer to list you on their platforms for a monthly fee so like if you're anything like me you may exercise a little bit of caution so typically what i do is just see how far i could get with the information that i have without paying any additional money and i'm and i feel like i'm fortunate that i kind of like think in that way because that's why my expenses for my notary signing business is so low less than fifty dollars a month i really don't think that you could beat that for reoccurring expenses of course i have things to pay for like toner and gasoline for my car and freeing up on re-upping office supplies and ink and paper and things like that but all in all like for the monthly recurring cost i don't pay a ton of money fifty dollars is easy i could literally do one signing and that one signing covers all of those costs so i hope that this video was helpful to you guys today is the last day of february so i feel like we ended february with a big bang if you have not seen my video on marketing to real estate agents be sure to check that out that was the special video that i told you guys about i am really excited that you could actually angle and market to real estate agents especially outside of an attorney's state so i feel like there's a lot of valuable information in that video of course there's no necessarily how to script of what to say to the real estate agent because just like you and me they're people they're people with their own thoughts and their own personalities and they are not necessarily operating under the umbrella of a company to guide them whether they're going to use this person as a loan signing agent or not so it's really about getting to know people building a relationship with people and basically seeing what you could do as far as doing business with that person but i hope that you guys enjoyed this video if you did please give me a big thumbs up and also if you have not subscribed make sure you subscribe to my channel and i will see you guys in the next upload bye
