Hey IndieHackers.

I want to share something I have been building over the past few months.

My father needs a liver transplant. My family was close to selling our home to pay for it. I am 17 years old and I decided to try building something instead of watching everything fall apart.

I had no laptop. No money. No coding experience. Just a phone.

Here is what I built entirely on that phone:

The Product Suite — Michael Brown Productivity

A complete productivity architecture system built around one free diagnostic tool that identifies your exact productivity archetype in 120 seconds.

The full suite:

— Free: The Deep Work Diagnostic

— $17: Focus Reboot — 30 Day System

— $37: The Morning Blueprint

— $96: The Discipline Code

— $125: Deep Work Mastery

— $146: The Productivity Empire

Each product upsells to the next automatically through Gumroad.

What I learned building this on a phone:

Systeme.io works surprisingly well on mobile for funnel building. Gumroad handles payments and delivery with zero technical knowledge needed. The hardest part was not building the products — it was learning copywriting, funnel architecture and traffic generation from scratch with no prior knowledge.

I wrote every word. Designed every cover. Built every funnel page. All on a 6 inch screen.

Where I am right now:

Products are live. Funnel is connected. Affiliate program is active at 50% commission on all products. I have my first view but zero sales so far.

If anyone here has experience getting first sales for digital products I would genuinely appreciate advice.

The free diagnostic is here if anyone wants to try it:

For anyone interested in the affiliate program:

All 5 products have 50% commission enabled on Gumroad. If you have an audience in the productivity or self improvement space and want to promote — DM me your email and I will get you set up immediately. You could earn between $8.50 and $73 per sale automatically.

Happy to answer any questions about building on a phone, the product creation process, or anything else.

Thanks for reading.
