5.0 out of 5 stars Huntsville Mobile Notary gives this book 5 stars!, November 19, 2006

I was fortunate enough to hear about Laura's book before I started in the notary business. The advice the author shares is honest, unbiased and valuable. This is no "get-rich-quick campaign". She provides step-by-step instructions on how to get listed in important directories, prepare press releases and more. What's best is that she responds to your email if you have a question about her book. I may have to buy another copy, I've marked up my first copy with underlining, arrows and other important notations. If you are serious about the notary business you will read this book over-and-over again because each time you do, you'll find some new information that you overlooked previously. Looking forward to her writing Part II of this excellent resource material.

I've been a notary for years and this book gave me lots of solid, useful, low-cost new ideas I could implement right away. It is direct and to the point: no fluff. The information can't be found anywhere else - I've looked. It's an excellent resource I know I will refer to many times in the future. Very helpful. Excellent resource.

I was eager to use this item and hopeful that the author could provide information leading to ways of generating additional income as a Notary Public. While it did point out a couple of ways to capitalize and expand notarial services, for the most part I found the information on the order of common sense. Clearly, as a Notary Public one must advertise, network, and do what needs to be done in this technological age. As Notary Publics We must utilize all avenues of media so that we are continually expanding our market. I honestly don't think I needed this item to recognize what I needed to do. Having said that, it is well organized and will be useful to those who need direction and are new to the notary services field.
