How Emerald Built a Six Figure Remote Online Notary Business as a Single Mom

One of the most powerful parts of what I do is getting to hear real stories from notaries who have completely changed their lives through this work. Emerald’s story is one I keep coming back to because it shows what is actually possible when you commit and stay consistent.

She is a single mom of five who went from working in a rigid job with no flexibility to building a six figure Remote Online Notary business. And she did it in a way that allowed her to be fully present for her kids.

Why Emerald Took the Leap

Emerald did not start this journey from a place of comfort. She was working in the dental field and struggling with a schedule that did not support her life as a mother.

When one of her children was hospitalized and her request for time off was denied, she made a decision. She chose to leave her job and take a chance on building something of her own.

That moment was not easy, but it was the turning point.

How She Got Started in Notary Work

Like many people, Emerald discovered notary work online. A simple video opened the door to a new path, and she decided to take it seriously.

She started with in person signings, said yes to opportunities, and showed up to local meetups. She was honest about being new, but she was also clear about being committed.

She kept her tools ready at all times and treated every signing like it mattered, because it did.

Transitioning Into Remote Online Notarization

As she gained experience, Emerald moved into Remote Online Notarization. This is where things began to shift.

RON allowed her to work from home, control her schedule, and take on more clients without the limitations of travel.

More importantly, it gave her the ability to prioritize her children while still growing her income.

What Her Business Looks Like Today

Today, Emerald completes around 150 signings per month and earns approximately twelve to thirteen thousand dollars monthly.

That kind of consistency does not happen by accident.

She uses platforms to receive orders, but she also markets herself directly to build relationships with law firms, paralegals, and document preparers. This combination creates both immediate work and long term opportunities.

Her Client Process That Saves Time

One thing Emerald does exceptionally well is preparation.

Before every appointment, she connects with the client to walk them through the process. She confirms their identification, checks their technology, and sets clear expectations.

This simple step prevents delays, reduces confusion, and creates a smoother experience for everyone involved.

The Flexibility That Changed Everything

What stands out most about Emerald’s story is not just the income. It is the flexibility.

She structures her workday around school drop offs, pick ups, and even her own personal time. She is able to be present for her children while still running a high volume business.

That is the real value of Remote Online Notarization when it is done right.

My Advice If You Are On the Fence

I know there are a lot of people, especially single moms, who are watching from the sidelines and wondering if this is something they can really do.

Emerald’s story is proof that it is possible, but it also takes effort, consistency, and a willingness to put yourself out there.

You do not need to have everything figured out. You just need to start, stay committed, and keep learning as you go.
