Want a new iPod Nano? October Referral Contest Announced!
OK, so we’ve got all kinds of sweet prizes to give away this month. You can see all the details of the contest here. We have 10 prize packages to give away to the members who refer the most notaries before Oct 31st! iPods! iPods! iPods! (I wish I could have one!)
Reviews Feature Coming Along (**Cool**)
You can see the whole overview I did of the reviews feature here.
Bottom line: good reviews = more points = more job requests. Customers on NotaryBay.com can leave a 1 to 5 star review of your job performance on signings connected through NotaryBay.com. Very cool stuff.
Price Filter (Say goodbye to lowball requests!)
Don’t you hate when you get calls for fees well under what you charge? Yeah, we do too. We upgraded the application this weekend to allow you to filter out job requests that don’t met your free schedule! Good for the searcher, good for you.
To set your price, login here, and set your minimum price (set your price to what your min. charge would be for a single edoc signing within 30 miles).
Your Minimum Price is currently set to: ($0 means you will show up for all results. Not recommended! Login and update here. We may set a site-wide minimum edoc price of at least $75)
Premium vs Free Memberships
Right now during our beta testing all members have premium member benefits. Once we finish our V 1.0 build, all notaries will be dropped to free listings (no profile, rank below premium members in results). You will have an option to upgrade back to a premium listing at that time. Free listings still receive job notifications, but miss out on the more advanced features of the site (reviews, profile page, pictures (coming soon), ranking, etc) and will always rank below premium members regardless of points.
What’s Coming (and why you should care)
Our little staff of 3 has been working round the clock on this latest update and getting ready for a public launch at the end of the month. At that time we’ll allow and encourage escrow and title schedulers (no signing companies!) to register and begin using the application to simply and speed up their notary search.
You can read more about our goals here.
Thank You again, and make sure and login to your account to get your referral links to win those prizes!
Best Regards,
The NotaryBay.com Staff
