First off, thank you to everyone who participated in the survey I sent out last week! Your feedback has been really  helpful.

And looking at the results of that survey, it seems like a significant number of people want to learn about how to make more money with the Low Hanging System.

I know not everyone participates in LHS. But if you’re involved with ecommerce and creating new designs in any capacity, this post still applies.

Sometimes, your creative juices run now. Or, you feel blocked or stuck for new ideas. To help jump-start your creativity whenever this happens, I’ve compiled a list of 75 design suggestions for you.

The way that I arrived at this list was by first creating two shorter lists — one was a list of niches and the other was a list of design categories, which I chose based on what has sold the best in the past (see below).

Niche: 

  • Family
  • Love and friendship
  • Studies (e.g. geology, biology)
  • Celebrations
  • Occupations
  • Sports
  • Hobbies
  • Travel
  • Politics
  • Social Movements / Ideologies
  • Animals
  • Miscellaneous

Design Category: 

  • Sarcasm
  • Sentimentality / love
  • Enthusiasm / support
  • Humor
  • Puns
  • Quotes

Then, I combined the niches the categories (whenever it made sense) to come up with a big list of design suggestions, which you can find below. (I also throw in a few extra ideas here and there for good measure.)
