Hi 1step, I know what you are saying is very very true!

A number of years ago I participated in a Investment System Exhibition and after that there was a definite uplift in the interest and extra sales for a while but after that interest faded again.

At this point in time I have been working on this off and on for 20 years on this specific Microsoft-based program, and countless hour of development work and debugging work we have put into it.

The underlying truth is that even though I have been worked on AIMing for more that 30 years since 1981 it has never left the Hobby Stage next to my other work. In order to gear up to get VORTEX to the level of a serious commercial product I would have to start competing with the commercial activities like that of Mark Hing with his AI, and others like him, and mount a similar marketing campaign. . .That seems to me like something similar to climbing to the top of Mount Everest. . .It is much easier and efficient to look at a documentary of others that got the top of that mountain.

I can not seriously compete on the level that is required for capturing a share of a market that Mark Hing is operating in. The type of marketing that is required to capture a part of the American market (for any product) seems to be a bit "dishonest" . . "Selling The Sizzle" instead of selling the steak". . .Every time I get confronted with American Marketing examples I find them almost "offensive" in regards to the fact that the Sizzle is being marketed and the quality and features of the "Steak" are not mentioned.

I have once discussed marketing techniques(generally) in relation to book-writing techniques and someone that knew how to separate the chaff from the grain told me this:

"The popularity of a book is inversely proportional to the number of formulas that are present therein. When people peruse a book and they see a lot of equations and charts they put it back very quickly and look for one that has only text and photographs in it".

Of course, if one is marketing via Internet the title of a book or the name of the product needs to catch the imagination of the readers. . in that sense the name Vortex Method appears to be meaningless to almost anyone. . .I would have to think of another name. . I hate to do that!

When I write something about a technique I need to enter the essentials of it in my promotion and that becomes a “book” with Formulas and Charts. Evidently that does little for marketing the product. . .people want to hear that they will get rich over night while they are sleeping. This would be a distorttion of the truth. Vortex Aiming is a lot of work that sleeping.

Honestly, I have no more steam on the kettle to start such a commercial campaign and to spend another 5 years on it to break into a markets that appears to be limited anyway. Somehow I feel: “I have tried it long enough”.

Would you like to buy the Vortex Program for a pittance and do the marketing for yourself?

I tried to sell it before and got no bites. For people that like AIMing it appears that they like to tinker just like I do and they rather develop their own “AIM Derivatives” than buy a program developed by others.

That is not a problem. . .
I am like that too smile
