Would you take it? Why—or why not?

I’d only take it as side money. No pay listed. Feels like working a digital window where minutes leak between calls. margins matter. Scheduling seems flexible, sure.

I’d want the rate per notarization and who supplies the signers spelled out - did a RON stint that paid $20 - $30 per seal, but the platform skimmed and no-shows killed the hour. Tip: ask if they pre-verify IDs and give you an e-journal template; that cut my sessions to about 10 minutes and reduced cancels.

I don’t take RON without a guaranteed no-show fee and a clear per-seal rate; my last platform paid $25 but I ate KBA fees and two no-shows wiped the day. Ask if they cover platform/ID costs and whether they batch appointments - steady volume matters more than “flexible” hours.
