I am an introvert and not a big talker. But I knew that in order to improve my communication skills, and create positive business relationships, I needed to get out there and meet people.

I wanted my side hustle to grow into a strong sustainable business. In order to do that, I couldn’t just share my business card. I wanted to promote myself, but more importantly, I needed to build a network of people who could introduce me to others.

Networking is not about collecting as many business cards as you can — — it’s about starting relationships.

When I first began seeking networking opportunities, I first looked for national organizations within my business niche. I did some research on the leading companies that could help me grow my notary signing agent business but would also provide a great membership experience.

As a Notary Signing Agent(NSA) I found 4 major organizations that could help me grow and build relationships.

  1. The National Notary Association(NNA)
  2. American Association of Notaries(ASN)
