Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Initially, time was spent on learning and certification, which included studying and passing the notary exam. Once certified, time was divided between client work (signing appointments), marketing (networking with real estate agents and lenders), and administrative tasks (scheduling, travel, and document preparation). The time commitment was higher at the start due to setup and marketing efforts, but it became more consistent as client work increased. Online, people report varying time commitments based on location and demand, with some spending more time on marketing to build their client base.
