Subject: Finding new Cryonicists
Date: Sat, 20 Mar 1999 04:07:01 -0000

I started my buildup as a salesman and do think I can sell the idea of us if
I have the time.

"If we really want to find more cryonicists, we need very badly
to know what cryonicists are like. "
Havent anyone done that yet?!?

"How old were you when you became interested in cryonics?"
I was around 40, but it hasnt so much to do with age; Cryonics has not been
known among people for long but its getting better. I still meet a lot of
people who doesnt know in spite it has been on all TV channels here for
years.
When I started to fish for new ones to us I asked age profession and
location, most of them are young in my list.
Most young folks are interested in many things as may fade out in time,
suspension may be very far away, but they have very much undone if they die
young, and may get another shot at life with us. Many of them think they
will live forever but forget accidents.

Old folks are often tired of life having done what they should and may have
had enough with problems.
To get more in suspension mediumage may be a target.
And do not involve god in this for or against, anyone is welcome.

Transhumanists seem to be intersted.

Turn the issue and find the target, who is not among us yet and like a long
life? Its those into Life-extension and CR etc.

Those who get capital punishment probably would like us but are no good PR.

And its not all a moneymatter as my old mother still refuses even if I pay
it all. She has instructed my brother to avoid this. I'm trying to turn it
when I say I like her much enough for this gift I wouldnt pay for my sister.
To turn down a gift is inpolite. I try to tempt with grandchildren etc. but
still no, the oldies seem to be afraid. We must make them happy and curious
first perhaps.

I also think of the rich and famous, because in all times what they have
started will the poorer like to do as well.

In another venue I have mailed the only 2 undertakers who have E-mailadress
here, since at least one Cryo.-org can pay a fee to them for recruitment;
They are both interested.
It was hard here introducing a less costing burialcoffin, now its a
pricecompetition downwards. Our alternative is at the other end since old
people often have a lot of assets. One argument from them is the children
need the money. Turn that around to the children; What do you wish most,
money or parents?

Another thing to do is like me, in most E-mails I have automatically
Cryonics-PR as below, I will improve in time.
Why dont YOU if not? Shy? Watch my pagecounter, I seldom trigger it up
myself. Those pages are fairly new. A simple homepage is easy to make with
an free editor if you havent one.

And do write where you are in here, new ones who read this in the same area
will hang on, they have to me!! I use my real name as many dont in here, but
we havent, the message is most important if we need to protect the name.

Have you called radiostations as we can here online or not? I've been in one
nationwide tenths of times in other matters so far. Here they are suckers to
fill the time in all channels, it isnt so hard if one is serious. TV is not
as easy yet. Cryonics may be better in the radio since ie my mother thought
it looked nasty in TV. If we arent in the phonebook under Cryonics as we
should and I consider here, we can in the meantime just tell folks to do a
search in Internet with the word Cryonics, a piece of cake with many hits.

As selling in politics etc. I can, its a matter of planting a seed with
facts, reminders and wait for slow brainwork.

Sincerely Long Life
