I've found that family and friends are actually some pretty tough customers to sell new idea's to. In my case, they have heard me time and time again say that I've finally found the best online business, only to have it crumble with no success at all.
So I believe the best way to approach family and friends is to succeed FIRST. Then you have something tangible to show them. You have results they can actually see, which in turn will spark an interest. I concentrate on my cold market for the time being. Once my business is off and running, then it's time to approach my family and friends with bragging rights. After all, they cannot dispute your success if it's right there in front of them!
