> A launch experiment: could a weekend project get to #1 on Product Hunt?

## The experiment

- In 2021, info products were everywhere, and so were the 3D ebook mockups people used to sell them on Gumroad.
- Mockly made those mockups in a few clicks. I built it over a weekend or two, and it was a very simple product. That was the point.
- The real question was whether something this simple could get to #1 on Product Hunt if I followed a proper launch system.

## How it went

- It reached #1 soon after launch and stayed there until the end of the day.
- In the first week: 530 upvotes, 103 comments (a lot of them me replying) and 27 sales. A few people even asked me to raise the price.
- Plenty of info product creators found it genuinely useful, which never would have happened if I hadn't launched it.

## What I learned

- People are extremely helpful. You just have to ask kindly.
- Something that seems small or simple to you can be really valuable to someone else.
- So build small things, and launch them. You'll never know unless people see them.
