You might have the absolute best opportunity in the world - but contacting your friends and family is a delicate process all the same. Your 'warm market' is one of the best places to start but you need to be careful.

Start with an ice breaker - something that gets the conversation started even if you haven't spoken with them in a while. Don't ask anything from them and try to give them something useful at the same time.

Try starting off by sending a short e-mail like the following:

This is an interesting article with a link to a useful tool in it.
Tell me what you think.

Put a subject line of "Useful Tool" and you can send it to just about anyone you know without feeling like you are trying to get something out of them.

The article link in the e-mail will help get the conversation moving in the direction of finding an additional stream of income. The e-mail also asks them to contact you back with their opinion. If you don't hear back from them, send another e-mail asking what they thought of the article and tool.

They will usually respond about the tool or their finances. Send another e-mail asking what they thought of the authors concept of using additional streams of income. At this point they will generally tell you it sounds good and ask what you had in mind. You can now send them an introduction letter that talks about your opportunity.
