How Jenny Built a $2,500+ Per Month Remote Notary Business as a Mom of Four

When I talk about building a Remote Online Notary business, I always say this is not just about income. It is about creating a life that actually works for you.

Jenny’s story is one of the best examples of that.

She is a divorced mom of four who needed something flexible, something she could do from home, and something that would allow her to still show up for her kids every day. Like many people, she had her notary commission for a while but felt stuck and unsure of how to actually start.

Getting Past the Fear of Starting

One thing Jenny openly shared is that fear held her back for a long time. She had the commission, but she was not taking action.

That is more common than people think.

Once she decided to move forward and plug into the right support and guidance, everything started to shift. Confidence does not come first. It comes from doing.

What Her Income Growth Actually Looked Like

I love that Jenny was honest about her numbers because it shows what real growth looks like, not overnight success.

Here is how her income progressed:

  • June: $40

  • July: $510

  • August: $1,450

  • September: $435

  • October: $2,369

  • November: $2,720

  • December: $2,556

There was a dip in September, and that is normal. Business is not perfectly linear. What matters is that she stayed consistent and kept going.

Within a few months, she built her income to over $2,500 per month.

Why She Focused on Direct Clients

One of the biggest shifts Jenny made was focusing on direct clients instead of relying on signing services.

Today, about 95 percent of her business comes from direct relationships and referrals.

She still uses RON platforms to complete the notarizations, but not to find the work.

This is something I teach often because it gives you more control, better pay, and repeat business.

Her Networking Strategy as an Introvert

Jenny describes herself as a wallflower. She is not naturally outgoing, but she made a decision to show up anyway.

Her strategy was simple but powerful.

She attended networking events and focused on building real connections. Instead of trying to meet everyone, she focused on meeting the right people.

She calls them connectors. These are people who may not need your services directly but know many people who do.

One connection can open multiple doors.

That is exactly what happened for her. One introduction turned into several ongoing clients through simple email referrals.

Finding Her Niche in the Legal Industry

Jenny chose to focus on working with legal professionals, and that clarity helped her stand out.

When she speaks to attorneys or law offices, she does not just say she is a notary. She explains the value of Remote Online Notarization in a way that matters to them.

She highlights:

  • Recorded sessions that show the signer’s awareness and willingness

  • Biometric identity verification for added security

  • Knowledge based authentication for fraud prevention

This kind of messaging positions her as a professional partner, not just a service provider.

What Actually Made the Difference

There are a lot of strategies in this business, but Jenny’s growth came down to a few key things.

She took action even when she felt uncomfortable
She focused on relationships instead of quick wins
She stayed consistent even when results were slow

Most importantly, she built a business that fits her life as a mom.

My Advice If You See Yourself in Jenny

If you are someone who has been sitting on the sidelines, waiting to feel ready, I want you to hear this clearly.

You do not need to be outgoing. You do not need to have everything figured out.

You just need to start.

Jenny’s story is proof that even with a full life, even with fear, and even with limited time, you can build something real and sustainable.
