Most new notaries never find that out. They stamp the occasional document for free and let the commission sit. Loan signings are the paid work, and there's a specific way notaries break into it.

One loan signing is one appointment: walk a borrower through their closing documents. The service fee is $75 to $200. The other line is what your commission earns in a drawer.
Those are per-appointment service fees and simple multiplication, not an earnings promise. Your volume depends on your market and how many signing sources you sign up with.
Loan Signing System is a course that teaches notaries the loan-closing process and how to get booked for signings.
A loan package is a stack of specific documents. The course teaches you what each one is and how to walk a borrower through it.
Signings get assigned to notaries who are known and reliable. The course covers how new agents get on those lists.
Each signing is one appointment. Some notaries do a few a month on the side. Some make it the whole job.
Not going to sell you a dream. Here's the actual shape of it:
The fee is real: $75 to $200 per signing. So is the work. Appointments happen when borrowers are free, which means evenings and weekends. You drive. You print big document packages. Your first signings will be slow and a little stressful. Volume depends on your market and how many signing sources you sign up with.
If that sounds fine, this is a genuinely good use of a credential you already paid for. If you wanted passive income, this isn't that.
Fair question. The test I'd apply to any course: does it teach a real service that real businesses pay real money for? Loan signings are that. Title and escrow work needs certified signing agents, and the per-appointment fee is $75 to $200 whether you learned the job from this course or the hard way.
The course costs money. A couple of signings pay it back. And if you'd rather piece the process together yourself from free videos, you can. That's fine. The course exists because most people quit before the piecing-together works.
