It looks easier to promote to family and friends first, but it is not. Specialy in country where you come from.
Family know you long time, and have oppinion about your previous work, skills etc. So , they have problem to see you in new and different light, in diferent work, strange world for them. It is hard for them to belive you in success. They need time to watch you first and they will wait for your success first. Even then they are not sure and often refuse to try.
Similarly with friends. Closer friend makes more difficult and uncertain. The only good way is to ask friends if they have any of their friends who would be interested in new business opportunities and success in business. Indirectly, it may interest them to hear what it is about. Even then do not exspect much.
Complete stranger has no preconceived notions and not burdened with your previous experience and he will bind immediately to the idea, if it's good promoted. Mostly they will be attracted by your enthusiasm and sincerity. They will recognize honesty in your approach and they can join easily.
My advise, go with strangers first, and latter maybe, with pocket full of money ask your closest to drink coffe and have small chat with you.
