A lot of it depends on the type of marketing you specialize in. You might join a meetup group on meetup.com and see if there are any marketing groups in the area. Many of them will work with agencies and you can do some networking there.

Good luck.

Well, many factors will affect the home price, but in general, I think the price will continue to go up in selective areas. Despite the current downturn, Million dollar+ homes in areas like cupertino, palo alto, fremont mission area are still increasing, The rich don’t have to sell during a down market to drive price down. In east bay like oakland and hayward, prices are down because there are more subprime borrowers in those areas. This cause prices to drop but there are still a lot of people with good jobs & cash sitting on the sideline, waiting for price to stablize, once those buyers are willing to re-enter the market, prices will go up.

Also, bay area is one of the nicest area in the world, the weather is good, and they still have good paying jobs. Unless our gov’t policy drive away more jobs, I would think bay area is a good long term play.

There has been a slow down in the job market, but that’s happening across the country as well. Your best bet is to look at job ads via sfgate.com or Monster and start applying, you can arrange to do some interviews by phone or you could fly out for a week and do interviews. Definitely wouldn’t recommend moving without having a job lined up. Another great resource would be temp agencies, so at least you would have a temporary job while you looked for a more permanent one. Some temps jobs turn permanent!

It is very tight. Unemployment is probably 17% in the Bay Area.

Check out Craig’s list for some idea of what jobs are available and rate of pay.

admin answers:

Yes, the Bay Area is a high-tech economy, so there is demand for your line of work. It shouldn’t be too difficult finding a job. The jobs are not in Vallejo, though.

You’ll probably have to commute into the city (take the ferry) or Silicon Valley (about a one hour drive). If you can get a job in San Francisco, that would be awesome. It has a very ‘Manhattan-on-the-Pacific’ vibe to it. If you’re ambitious, that’s the place to go. Wages are also higher.

Well there are great internet marketing jobs but you must find one that suits YOU.

Combine internet marketing with real estate.

Do you sell real estate now? Start a website that focuses on a small niche in real estate in your area. Make it informative and interesting to the average reader. Think about everything that a buyer or seller would, could, or should know about your area when they move in.

For instance: What are things that a buyer or seller needs in your area…

For Buyers it might be inspectors and what they should be looking for, interior decorators, pool services, lawn services, car dealers, auto repair stations, things of local interest like farmer’s markets, kids activities, etc.

For sellers it might be house painters, tips for increasing sales, movers, etc.

You can then link with these companies and individuals and let them advertise through your site. The list is unlimited.

You can also go to MySpace and start a profile.

All you have to do to find prospects is to begin searching for people who looking to move in your area soon. You can then add these people to your friends list. If you become the center of information (special cultural events, museums, festivals, etc) for your area, people will naturally gravitate to it. You can also link to a blog or website that has more information. I would avoid trying to sell real estate in MySpace, but you can provide information and education that is well within the Term of Service.

This is a significant advantage over other methods of finding prospects, as it allows you to do so completely free of charge. Furthermore, MySpace has built-in mechanisms that help you to contact these prospects and to warm them up for selling.

One of these mechanisms is a “bulletin.” A bulletin is a message that you send out to all of the friends on your friends list at the same exact time. Regardless of whether you have 10 friends or 40,000 a bulletin will reach them all in a matter of minutes. Next time they open up their profiles, they will all have that bulletin you sent.

How can you use this in your favor? You can send out a bulletin about something related to your business; and then use that to lure them into reading your MySpace.

You can also send out private messages to individual users. This is a good method to use in conjunction with a database. If you are taking the time to invite people individually, also take the time to add them to a database, along with some notes about them. If you think they might want something particularly, you could always send them a private message to let them know you are a seller. You can then offer them a discount if they are interested.

Good luck and e-mail if you have questions on what I wrote.

There are a lot of internet marketing opportunities available with many offering marketing appeal throughout the world.

Is internet marketing RIGHT or Wrong?… I have been involved with MLM / Network Marketing / Internet Marketing for the past 28 years, and in my opinion, it epitomizes the opportunity of free enterprise in countries that encourage entrepreneurship.

What other business or opportunity affords you the chance to fulfill you dreams and goals with little or no major investment of money. People are making 10’s of thousands of dollars each month in their Network Marketing businesses, others are making a few hundred dollars a month and are grateful for the extra income.

The key to success in Network Marketing is choosing the right company. There are many scams out there, but following a guidline when reseaching your opportunity, you can assure yourself of a good chance to become successful.

When researching these types of companies you want to use the following guidelines:
1. Been in business at least 5 years
2. Financially stable
3. Has product or service with mass market appeal
4. Provides good support and training
5. Has a sensible marketing plan or pay structure
6. Isn’t making outlandish “get rich quick” statements
7. Provides advertising and promotional material
8. Doesn’t require you to stock inventory
9. Has no minimum sponsoring or selling requirements
10. Has no fees to become a member

Working a home business can be the answer to many peoples dreams, however, despite all the ads you may see, it does take a committment on your part of time and effort. If an ad sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t. I am very leary of “get rich quick” type of ads.
I am retired and I work my home business fulltime now and I started out with a total investment of $2.95 and the company I chose meets all the guidlines as listed above. You can check out the links below.

Expect the prices to continue to decline for a least the next year or more until the mortgage market calms down.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW,HOUSING PRICES WILL COME DOWN MORE.
THE ANSWER IS YES. THE REST OF YOUR QUESTION,IS NOT VERY CLEAR.

admin answers:

Quaint areas include
Most of Berkeley.
In the north of Oakland: Rockridge, Temescal and Piedmont Avenue. Not far away, Lake Merritt area.
In Richmond: Point Richmond (which sits apart and is very different from the rest of the city.)
Albany & Keningston, small cities adjacent to Berkeley.
Most of the island city of Alameda.

It’s hard to imagine an area more into organic food than Berkeley/north Oakland. This includes farmer markets and many stores including the amazing Berkeley Bowl.

At the top of the list I would put Rockridge, Elmwood (a Berkeley neighborhood between Rockridge and the university) and Point Richmond.

San Jose State, absolutely.
