This is not really all that different from making cold calls to those who ask you specifically not to contact them. Most spammers have a really hard time not getting caught by the spam filters and getting people to open the e-mails they send, never mind making sales from those e-mails. Spamming is a terrible idea no matter if it is through e-mail or the search engines.
Don't make the mistake of not knowing your competition. If you ask someone who is trying to start a business about competition and they claim not to have any, two things are possible, either they haven't done enough research into their target market or no market exists for that product. If the market has proved profitable it is highly unlikely that there is no competition for that person. There is competition in all niches, no matter how small they are. So learn all you can about who your competitors are. Find out what they are selling and see if you can't do better with what you are going to offer from your business. Many times you'll find gaps in your competitors that your business can fill.
It's better to set small goals regularly rather than large goals you'll never reach.
