Hey everyone,

After about a month of reading the forum I've seen this issue come up a few times and have not seen a solution offered yet.

I have several cool ideas (yeah, I know..) for products to try selling that are all related in some way to weapons. Whether it's a new knife design, blow-darts, gun-camouflage painting solutions, etc, these are all going to be blocked by Facebook ads, Google ads, and others. I also tried to test a recent invention on eBay but they promptly removed it.

I really need to find a reliable way to test/validate these ideas and also to bring in traffic once I've manufactured my product and brought it to market.

I expect someone to say that I should abandon this category altogether but I see so many opportunities for innovation here. It would be a real shame to leave all of that potential on the table because of some outside forces like Facebook. This is just a category that I know a lot about and I know that I can offer a lot of people great value there.

So, aside from the usual advice of running some facebook ads to test market response, is there anything else I can do? I could build a youtube channel around the product but that would most likely take years to reach a sizable audience.

Thank you for reading.
