From "9 to 5" to 24/7: The Benefits of Being a Remote Online Notary




"Pour myself a cup of ambition..." - Dolly Parton's iconic lyrics in "9 to 5" perfectly capture the daily grind of the average American worker. But for notaries, the traditional "9 to 5" routine is only the tip of the iceberg. As inflation rises, state mandated rates can have a negative effect on the notary industry. However, a new solution has emerged in the form of Remote Online Notary services (RON). By adapting to this changing landscape, notaries can break free from the limitations of time and location and offer a more efficient and convenient service to clients. So, let's pour ourselves a cup of ambition and explore the benefits of Remote Online Notary in the face of rising inflation.


"They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter

You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder

But you got dreams he'll never take away"


As a notary, you work hard to provide an essential service to your clients. But when your earnings are capped by state mandated rates, it can be frustrating and demotivating. With rising inflation, it becomes even harder to make ends meet. But fear not, there's a way to combat these challenges and take your notary career to the next level.


By becoming a Remote Online Notary, you can break free by expanding your client base beyond your immediate geographic area. This means you can work from anywhere (within your State’s boundaries, of course), whether it's your home office or a beachside resort. Just imagine not having to deal with rush hour traffic or a noisy office environment. You can have the flexibility to work at a time and place of your choosing.


But becoming a Remote Online Notary isn't just about location independence. It's also about taking advantage of the latest technology and delivering a convenient and efficient service to your clients. With video conferencing and digital document signing, Remote Online Notarization has become a game-changer for the industry. And with the COVID-19 pandemic having forced many businesses to adapt to remote services and the work from home (WFH) mentality, remote online notarization has become more in demand than ever.


"You're in the same boat with a lotta your friends

Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in

An' the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way"


Now is the time to jump ship! Becoming a Remote Online Notary does come with its own set of challenges, but lucky for you, not all of your counterparts are willing to adjust and adapt to their changing environment. There are a few extra requirements, albeit minimal and easily overcome. You will need to have the necessary technology and software to conduct video conferencing, as well as a reliable internet connection. You will likely need to take additional coursework with your State and you still need to comply with the laws and regulations of the states. You will need to carve out your own niche and do a little more self-promotion. But don't let these challenges hold you back.


By taking the leap and becoming a remote online notary, you can potentially earn more money and have a more fulfilling career. You can also enjoy the benefits of being your own boss and having the flexibility to work on your own terms. And who knows, you might just find that you're happier and more productive when you have the freedom to work from a location of your choosing. Especially a location that doesn’t require you to put $4 a gallon gas in your car and doesn’t cost $7+ per ream of paper you have to print your assignments on for signing.


"9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you

There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you?"


Of course, becoming a remote online notary isn't the right choice for everyone. If you prefer the traditional in-person notarization process, that's perfectly fine. The important thing is to stay informed about the latest developments and adapt to the changing landscape of the industry. But if you're looking to break free from the geographical limitations and take your notary career to the next level, becoming a remote online notary might just be the key.


So what are you waiting for? It's time to channel your inner Dolly Parton and take charge of your notary career. Whether you choose to become a traditional notary or a Remote Online Notary, it's important to stay informed, adapt to change, and enjoy the journey. After all, "9 to 5" might have been a way to make a living in the past, but the notary industry has evolved, and with it, new opportunities and challenges have emerged.


By becoming a RON, you can potentially break free from these limitations and expand your client base while delivering a convenient and efficient service. It's not without its challenges, but with the right mindset and tools, you can take your notary career to the next level.


So go ahead, sing along with Dolly, and let her iconic lyrics inspire you to take action. Whether it's "9 to 5" or working as a Remote Online Notary, the key is to stay informed, adapt to change, and never give up on your dreams. After all, as Dolly once said, "If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one."
