Bitcoin is not for unacquaint people.It is dangerous enough to those who do not have even basic knowledge and you want to involve the whole family in it?
If you are representing bitcoin to others as a source of unearned media,it is likely to drive a plane without driving experience.
Teach them well so they will not blame you for any loss.

The single most important thing that has gotten my friends and family to pay attention (and not mock) when I talk about Bitcoin is the growth of price. That doesn't mean that these people are buying into it yet, but they're paying more attention.
The best way to get people comfortable with it is to talk about it in real terms. What did you buy with bitcoin this week? Share that experience with people who are totally new to bitcoin...the more basic and "everyday" the purchase the better.
You can't change the news and the media isn't going to tell stories about "man buys coffee today with bitcoin!" they're going to tell stories about "thugs hold hospital information hostage, demanding bitcoin ransom!"
Remind people that the currency that leads the world in use for criminal activity is the US Dollar. Does that mean that the Dollar is a ponzi scheme? No. (Ok...some of you will disagree). If criminals want to use the currency it is a testament to how easy it is to use. Period.

What exactly are you convincing them to do? Become a bitcoin investor or do campaign for bitcoin? Sometimes it is hard to convince others to do extra work for bitcoin like we do in signature campaign. Some people are not into this. Having extra money is not enough motivation. But maybe if you can present bitcoin like an investment or a retirement fund that keeps growing or show them how it grown in the past year, they may have something to think about and maybe convince them to get bitcoin.

You want to convince people who are not interested in bitcoin? you just spend time for it.
if you manage to convince them, are you sure they will succeed with bitcoin? what happens if they fail or loss?

Well, I have started making some few cash from this and really will like those around me to partake. But people around have been put down because of ponzi and when bitcoin is being talked about all they see is Ponzi! How does one really get to re-orientate?
You don't need to convince them directly as many people who are very less knowledgeable about Bitcoin will not easily be influenced by it. First of all, you should show them some proofs of others earnings and also your own earnings. Then show them the price chart of the Bitcoin to influence them a little more about the legitimacy of the Bitcoin. After that you should show them the Bitcoin sellers to make them understand how much potential it has. You should be as real to them as possible, but if you emotionally tell them that they can make a lot of money then they will most probably find it as Ponzi. Show them the reality, if they're little bit intelligent they will know the rest.

Not really convincing them since that can cause problems later. They'd probably panic when they see a price drop and pester you about it and then you'd end up hating each other.
Better just inform them what it is and that you have invested. Never pull them into this. If they are interested, they'd reach out and ask you to help them set up things.

Teach them first how to earn bitcoin without investing or drawing money from their pocket. Guide them to join bounty campaign and any social media task that pays crypto currency.

Don't. It's a terrible idea to try and get people involved in your decisions when it involves money.
If the price drops, they will blame you, whether vocally or subconsciously, and they won't like you for it. Since that's pretty much 100% likely to happen at some point, it'll be extremely damaging to your reputation with your family and friends.
Your mentality is utterly wrong anyway, since you're trying to earn fiat money rather than actually use or hold BTC in any way.

If someone spoke to you saying "I've been making loads of money from this new blockchain digital peer-to-peer fancy crazy thing, now I have cash!", and you knew nothing about BTC, would you honestly not think it was a Ponzi scheme? If I didn't bother to research it, I sure as hell would. Your mentality is utterly wrong anyway, since you're trying to earn fiat money rather than actually use or hold BTC in any way.
