Since someone who is unemployed probably has little free money, but much free time, the best advertising resources are those that are free, but time intensive.
Traffic exchanges, if you join as a free member, require you to surf a lot of pages to be effective. So an unemployed person could devote a couple hours a day surfing to build credits to advertise SFI. The danger is that they will see many other offers and may get distracted. The last thing you want to do is start joining a dozen other programs and lose focus.
Safelist also take time. They are not terribly effective, but they are free. The trick with a safelist is to create a junk e-mail account to use as your list e-mail so your main address does not get flooded with mails. Many safelists are ignored though for this reason. The other members are also using an e-mail address they rarely check. For this reason, the better safelists are credit based. You cannot send mails unless you earn credits reading mails. For this reason, they also require investing time. The same warning about not getting distracted applies here.
Blogging and article writing can be effective, and definitely take time to do properly. You can get free blog hosting from several sources, and if you blog regularly about interesting topics, you will likely get a following. Put SFI ads on the blog and some people will be interested. Article writing is similar, except you use other people's blogs. Some people want to keep a blog fresh with new content but do not wish to write themselves so they get articles from article directories. If you submit an article with links to SFI, when another blog owner publishes the article, he also publishes your link.
