The biggest problem with this approach is that you are only asking these people to look at your business or product because you KNOW them, not because they are actually interested in a business opportunity. These are just the people you happen to know. Even if this method doesn't bother you and you talk to all the people on your list, what happens when that list is depleted. Do you buy leads list now, or what are you supposed to do?Great News and A New Way To AdvertiseThe great news is that hundreds of thousands of people are looking for a business like yours to start every day.

People are searching for what you have everyday on the internet by the thousands. There are free ways to reach all these people. Simple free marketing like article, video or forum marketing to more complex methods like pay per click which cost money are available to you.
