If there’s one side hustle that’s generated the most chatter among our DR Side Hustle in the last few years, it would have to be becoming a loan signing agent.
A Notary Signing Agent or NSA is a Notary who has special training to handle loan document signings. Title companies and signing services hire NSAs to deliver loan documents to borrowers, oversee the signing and return the documents. As Notary signing agent or a loan signing agent you can earn $75-200 per appointment.
I’m in the process of becoming a NSA (notary signing agent). I’m planning on doing this as my side hustle. This is expected to bring some pretty decent money - some have reported making anywhere from $1k-$6k a MONTH.
I am pretty new to the whole thing so call me skeptical because in my state they we have to use attorneys for closings. One of my major side gigs is working with some real estate agents so I would have heard this.
a signing agent notary is different we do closing for properties , wills , refinancing i make 10k a month from it .. it’s actually very lucrative
dont most attorney offices already have them on staff?
no they don’t We sign with agency and they send the work over to us .. on an average day you may get 10 to 15 jobs that need you .. paying $500 to $700 depending on the job
First check if you can even become Notary and Loan Signing Agent in your state. The following states have restrictions on loan signing agents and usually need an attorney involved.
Delaware
Georgia
Massachusetts
New York
South Carolina
South Dakota
Vermont
West Virginia
What are the Requirements to Become a Loan Signing Agent?
The most important requirements to become a loan signing agent are:
Knowledge of the various loan documents borrowers will be signing.
You need a car. This is way over the top more difficult to do if you don't have one. Oh and gas. Did I mention paying for gas?
A lot of signing services/title companies will offer really low rates. What you get paid in California is definitely NOT what you can expect in Alabama. Everything costs more in CA. Some of them will make you chase your fee, and every once in awhile you won't get paid at all.
Printing out documents will eat into your fee because loan documents usually have 40-70 pages. If there is a mistake you will need to reprint the pages, and hopefully you don't have to reprint the whole doc.
Laser printers are the standard; do not use ink printers to print a package of documents.
Your printer should be your private equipment so that you are the only person handling the documents and viewing the non-public private information of borrowers. You can not bring this a printing company. Recommended printers include Brother HL-L2300D Monochrome Laser Printer and HP LaserJet Pro M404n Laser Printer
If the borrower has an issue with anything in the docs that can't be worked out on the spot, you can bet they won't sign and so therefore you are not likely to get paid. If are lucky enough to get that closing rescheduled, you will need to reprint the docs eating into your fee again.
Some of the signing agencies / mortgage companies will allow you to fax the docs, but even if you do, you also need to mail the originals via over night mail and you can bet YOU are paying for that.
I love when side hustlers share their income especially when they are getting out of debt! There is a way to make extra money each month when you are hustling!

I have a script that shows me how much I earn per hour, and I usually hit $12-15 an hour on the days I work. I typically sit down for an hour and a half a couple of days a week and just work uninterrupted. Super easy and mindless work.
It finds HITs within a certain category (like some days I will only work on HITs that are worth $1.00 or over; on weekends I will lower that to $0.25 because weekends are so slow). If a HIT is taken by someone else, I can then use a tool on there to "catch" it. So if someone working on that HIT returns it, I will immediately catch it and can work on it.
Well this is way behind! Here is how I pulled in extra money in January!!
Marketplace: Just got rid of a couple things...price then cheap to get them gone!!
Senegence: Steady sales with consistent customers
ToriBelle Magnetic Lashes: Favorite... actually going to the conference for this because I love this business so much, EVEN THOUGH it's an MLM. 🤣😂🤣 Hear me, friends, I know they're not for everyone. 😘
Travel Agent: Thank goodness people are traveling again! This is not reflected in this statement because I don't get commission till people take their trip but come August, September on, this number will be MUCH higher.
Extra Shifts: This is just working extra shifts at my traditional "9-5"
**This monthly post is NOT an effort to recruit people into any of the multiple things I do. OBVIOUSLY I like direct sales/MLM but not everyone finds success with it. The purpose here is to show that there are MULTIPLE ways to make extra money that don't have to be clocking in day after day, although working extra at your 9-5 pays off, too. Find something that works for you. Dig in. I am HAPPY always to talk about what I do, time management, money management, debt reduction... all the things.

Anyone else really struggle in December on side hustles? I'm hoping January will be a better month!
R+F is my direct sales business.I work it about an hour a month and see some residual income I worked so much at my church that I really didn't have time for extra work on my usual things like Mturk.
Marketplace: It was Christmas!! Anything we were getting rid of, I gave away this month. It is still an incredibly getting feeling to rid your home of items that are only providing clutter and no use or joy to you.
Travel Business: (Same statement as last month) Tough times with Covid but starting to book trips for further out and you don't receive those commissions until the trips are traveled. I've booked some people for Disney next year and REALLY looking forward to tag pay out!!

What are you selling on ebay,mercari, and poshmark to make so much???
am turning selling into a business. My store page is @tiffanystreasurestrinkets if you want to check it out. I sell new & gently used clothing, jewelry, books, collectibles and more.
One of the most questioned ways in our facebook group of making money is selling on amazon! Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a service available to you when you sell on Amazon. With FBA, you store your products in Amazon's fulfillment centers, and we will pick, pack, ship, and provide customer service for them.
Jessica Larrew and her spouse Cliff have been reselling on Amazon for years. And though it started as a part-time side hustle, it turned into a serious business–they’ve sold more than 1 million bucks worth of stuff on Amazon!
Check out Jessica's recent podcast where she gives an overview
*The tools you need to get started
*Where to look for profitable inventory
*The product categories that are best for new sellers
*How to prep and ship your products in to Amazon
What’s surprising – and I think exciting – is that they’ve done this is by finding profitable products to resell primarily in nearby retail stores.
Jessica takes advantage of Amazon’s FBA program, or Fulfillment by Amazon. This is Amazon’s way of crowdsourcing its inventory, and letting regular people like us tap into its world-class logistics network.
That means this Selling Family doesn’t have to ship anything to the end customer, handle returns, or write up product descriptions.
How the business works is like any other retail business: you profit on the spread between the cost of your product and what it sells for. Now you have to account for Amazon’s fees and shipping costs, but it’s basically buy low, sell high.
And the best part of this side hustle is that you can get started today with whatever initial inventory investment you’re comfortable with.
Getting Started Reselling on Amazon
If you already enjoy shopping and picking up great deals, why not start making a profit from it?
This business is a bit of a treasure hunt. “When we go into a store, we don’t have any idea what we’re going to find,” Jessica explained.
To get started, you need three things:
An Amazon Seller Account — Jessica recommended the free Personal seller account for people just getting started. Once you’re selling more than 40 items a month, it makes sense to upgrade to the Professional account level.
The Amazon Seller app — Available on iOS and Android for free.
A few dollars to buy your initial inventory.
With those three things in place, you’re good to go. Now let’s go hunt for some profit!
The Scanning Process
When looking for products to resell, Jessica and her husband go to stores like BigLots and start looking in each of their areas. She mentioned sections like household cleaning, health and beauty, groceries, etc.
They keep an eye out for branded products. If they recognize them, customers on Amazon will too.
Jessica also mentioned that seasonal goods and limited edition items can be profitable finds. “We’re looking for something special,” Jessica said. But the main thing to look for is something that is deeply discounted or that the app shows is selling for a much higher price on Amazon.
As you go down the aisles, you’ll use the Amazon seller app to scan the barcodes of the products. It can be a time-consuming process. Jessica said they will scan 30-40 products in an aisle, then move on to the next aisle, and keep going to find those profitable products.
The app tells you how much the products are selling for on Amazon, and how much you’d make after the selling fees. That way you can make a buying decision based on the price it’s available for in front of you.
The app will also show you the sales rank of the product in its category on Amazon. This is an indication of how popular it is and how frequently it sells.
Reselling for Profit: Buying Criteria
There are a few criteria Jessica and Cliff use when purchasing items to resell on Amazon.
At least 50% ROI. This means if you buy an item for $10, you’ll want to see at least $5 profit after fees.
A minimum of $5 per sale. Jessica said she sometimes bends this rule if they expect to sell a large volume quickly.
A Sales Rank under 150,000. When it comes to sales rank, the lower the number the better. (A sales rank of 1 indicates it’s the bestselling product in that entire category on Amazon.)
The sales rank is crucial because you want to be able to turn your money over quickly. Even if a product is a screaming deal, it’s usually not worth buying if the rank is really high because it’ll just sit in the warehouse collecting dust.
What are the Product Categories for Resellers?
What are the best items to flip for a profit? Jessica recommended a few categories for new sellers.
Groceries – Potentially a quick turnaround. Limited edition candies, cookies, and seasonal stuff sells well. Keep in mind the expiration date needs to be at least 3 months out.
Health and Beauty – Shampoo, conditioner, face creams, etc. Jessica explained that women (and probably men too) are willing to spend more for discontinued items to keep using their favorite brands.
Household Items – Shoppers like finding unique items for their homes.
Toys – Popular toys and games for kids can sell well. This category is often closed to new sellers during the holidays.
Books – Used books sell well on Amazon. You can pick up books at goodwill, thrift stores, yard sales, and so on and resell. Look for niche-specific books, not mass-produced series.
Jessica mentioned a tool called JoeLister, which automatically generates eBay sales pages from Amazon inventory. You can even have Amazon ship the item to your eBay customer on your behalf.
It also works out what price you need to list the product on eBay to make the same profit. Jessica said this is most useful in instances when Amazon itself has received stock of the same item you just purchased.
Estimating Shipping Costs
Of course, when you’re moving physical products from place to place, shipping costs are going to be a factor. The good news is that Amazon has heavily discounted shipping costs due to the volume of goods they ship all over the world.
As a rule of thumb, Jessica estimates $1 per pound for the stuff she ships to Amazon. You can even add this estimate into the Seller App so it calculates it into your expected profit per item.
It also saves money to send items in bulk. Jessica said she makes a shipment once she’s filled a “Home Depot medium sized box.”
Jessica has reselling students in Canada and the UK who are selling on both the Canada and UK Amazon stores, and the US store.
Sellers outside the US often buy products online in the US, ship them to a prep center, and having them shipped on to Amazon.
Reselling on Amazon with Online Arbitrage
Jessica and Cliff do online arbitrage too, but not as much as physically finding products in stores.
She said online arbitrage is great for people who don’t enjoy shopping or are short on time. While profit margins can be thinner (more competitive), you can often find more units of a product online than in your local store.
What Prep Do You Do Before Sending Products to Amazon
There are a few steps to follow once you have your products home and you’re ready to send them off to Amazon.
Jessica outlined her process as follows:
Scan the products and tell Amazon what you have to send them.
Tell Amazon what price you want to sell your products for. Jessica said the don’t usually undercut the current “buy box” seller.
You will be asked some questions about the products as you add them to a shipping plan.
You can then label the products yourself, or Amazon will do it for a small fee.
Jessica prints FNSKU codes and covers up the original barcodes, this identifies the products as hers when sold.
Polybag any products with open faces, bubble wrap any breakable items.
Add everything into a box, make a note of the weight, and ship it to the distribution center Amazon tells you to.
Risks of Reselling on Amazon
The biggest risk in a reselling business is your upfront capital investment. Amazon loves this business because they can be “the everything store” without having to purchase all this stuff themselves.
The good news is most of the time you can at least break even on your inventory. Jessica told the story of a recent purchasing mis-step though. She’d found some seasoning packets for $1 that were selling for $12 on Amazon, with a sales rank of 1000 in grocery.
When she got them home, it turned out that sales rank was in some obscure subcategory and that no one was actually buying them. Luckily it was only $100 bet!
