One of the most powerful (and free) marketing strategies is simply talking about what you do. I recommend that literally everywhere you go, you pass out your business card and let people know you're a notary. From the grocery store line to your yoga class, you never know who you’ll run into—or what unexpected types of businesses may need your services, sometimes on a regular basis. Notarization needs pop up everywhere, and being top of mind could make you the go-to notary in your community.
