This is a meta-post about the ASOhack content library. With 250 posts across ASO, monetization, growth, and category-specific guides, here's how to find what you need.

How to use this library (without drowning)

The single biggest mistake readers make with a library this size is treating it like a curriculum. It isn't one. It's a reference: you come in with a specific problem — conversion is flat, a keyword dropped, reviews turned sour — and you leave with the two or three posts that address it.

A workflow that actually works:

  1. Diagnose first. Run a free ASO audit on your live listing. The audit surfaces what's actually weak — metadata, visuals, reviews, keyword coverage — instead of what you assume is weak.
  2. Match findings to posts. Each section below maps a problem area to its deep-dive posts. Weak keyword coverage? Start with keyword research. Poor conversion? Start with screenshots.
  3. Change one thing at a time. Metadata updates take weeks to show ranking effects. If you change title, screenshots, and pricing in the same release, you'll never know which one moved the needle.
  4. Re-audit after 30 days. Measure, then pick the next post.

If you only have one hour a week for ASO, that loop — audit, read, implement, re-audit — beats reading ten posts and implementing nothing.

Suggested reading paths

If you'd rather follow a sequence than jump around, three paths cover most situations:

Path 1: "I'm launching my first app" (5 posts)

  1. Complete ASO Guide for Indie Developers — the foundation.
  2. How to Do Keyword Research — pick your battles before writing metadata.
  3. Screenshot Best Practices — the conversion side.
  4. Pre-Submission Quality Checklist — catch rejections before Apple does.
  5. The 90-Day Launch Playbook — what to do after "Ready for Sale".

Path 2: "I'm live but growth is flat" (5 posts)

  1. Run the free ASO audit first — don't guess.
  2. How the App Store Algorithm Works — understand what you're optimizing against.
  3. Monthly ASO Iteration Rhythm — build the habit.
  4. Freemium Conversion Optimization — if traffic is fine but revenue isn't.
  5. ASO Mistakes by Experience Level — self-diagnose blind spots.

Path 3: "I need to fix monetization" (4 posts)

  1. Mobile App Monetization Guide — the map.
  2. Pricing Psychology — how to present the price you pick.
  3. Soft vs Hard Paywall Data — the biggest single lever.
  4. LTV Calculation — so you know what a user is worth before buying more of them.

What this library deliberately doesn't do

A few editorial rules that shape every post here, so you know what to expect:

  • No invented numbers. Where posts cite ranges (CPI, pricing tiers), they're presented as ballparks for planning, not guarantees. Your category and geography will differ.
  • Indie-first framing. Advice assumes a solo dev or tiny team without an ad budget that rounds to anything. Tactics requiring a growth team are flagged as such.
  • Tools over theory. Almost every post ends with a concrete next action, usually one you can complete the same day with the Listing Analyzer or the Keyword Density Checker.

FAQ

Where should I start if I'm brand new? The beginner's ASO guide, then a free audit of your listing. Everything else can wait.

Are the category-specific guides worth reading if my niche isn't listed? Yes — read the two or three closest to your niche. The keyword-workflow, screenshot-structure, and monetization sections transfer almost directly between adjacent categories.

How current is the content? Posts are dated, and policy-sensitive topics (store rules, algorithm behavior) are revisited when the stores change something material. When in doubt, check the ASO Policy Tracker.

Use the free tools
