Need ASO partner to grow. Earn 20% from my iOS app sales
Hey indie hackers!
I am not good at ASO and don't want to spend any money because I don't have any savings. But my app is showing some traction as some organic users are buying it $0.99.
I want someone to do ASO and free marketing and I will give away 20% of my sales. :)
App Store page: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/uppixel-ai-photo-enhancer/id1633937151
I am a beginner and don't have any job so this is not a big deal for me, in fact, it will be a huge achievement for me!!!!
Please check URL before you message me because I want someone who will be "interested" in increasing the revenue of this app. Btw I am an AI / iOS developer so I need such help. :(
If you are interested, email me at [email protected]

Interesting opportunity — ASO partnerships can work really well if there’s clarity around roles, incentives, and the growth signals you care about early on. For something like a 20% revenue split, it helps to define:
• What ASO activities you expect (keyword research, creatives, A/B testing, conversion tracking)
• Which metrics count as success (rank lift in target keywords, install growth, conversion lift %)
• How feedback/experiments will be run and measured (what tests, cadence, tools)
Often the biggest friction in ASO partnerships is disagreement on which signal counts — installs? search rank? retention? revenue? Clear early alignment on that helps both sides commit.
Curious — what are the primary growth signals you’re targeting first (e.g., keyword rank improvements vs install volume vs conversion lift)? That often shapes how an ASO partner prioritizes work.
Hey! I am new to ASO and all of its details. I am developer and need someone to take on ASO role as a share-based partner. I want the partner to help me design the app while doing market research and grow its revenue organically based on whichever business model app will fit best in.
That makes sense — if you’re developer-led and new to ASO, the biggest early risk isn’t execution, it’s misaligned expectations between “growth work” and “business outcomes.”
One way I’ve seen share-based ASO partnerships work well in this situation is to phase things:
Phase 1 (discovery): clarify the target user, likely monetization model (paid, freemium, subs), and a single primary success signal (e.g. conversion rate vs install volume).
Phase 2 (ASO execution): keyword research + store experiments aligned to that signal.
Until the business model is roughly framed, ASO work can move installs but still miss revenue.
Curious — do you already have any signal on how users might pay (subscriptions, one-time, ads), or is that still open? That usually determines what an ASO partner should optimize for first.
I tried one-time purchase for download itself. Have not tried subscription. Only treated this app like a fun project earlier so didn't take time to get subscription approvals from Apple or implement them.
If you want to work with me then we don't "have to" improve this app if AI is so saturated. I am open to starting off with keyword research and build app around that for higher chances of revenue success which we can share. Also based on app(s) we can decide which business model would work best. Lmk.
That context helps a lot.
Given where you are, I’d agree — optimizing ASO before the monetization path is clear usually just moves installs without learning.
If I were pressure-testing this, I’d do one narrow experiment first:
pick a single audience + single use case, and validate willingness to pay before scaling ASO work.
Once that signal is clear, ASO becomes leverage instead of guesswork.
If you end up running that kind of test, curious what conversion signal you’d treat as “good enough” to double down.
Would you be available for the proposal I've made? I really am not an ASO person so it goes over my head.
Yes — happy to take a look.
I’m not an ASO “tactics” person either, so the way I’d approach it is pressure-testing the assumptions and success signals rather than tools or keyword mechanics.
If you want, send over the proposal and I can give you direct feedback on:
• whether the experiment is learnable
• what signal is actually being validated
• and what would make it “worth continuing” vs stopping
If it makes sense after that, we can decide next steps.
Before I send you proposal could you let me know how much maximum have you managed to increase the revenue of an app?
Fair question. I want to be upfront here so expectations stay clean.
I don’t have a “we 10x’d revenue from $X to $Y” case study to point to. My experience is less about large-scale ASO execution wins and more about early-stage pressure testing — figuring out whether revenue growth is even worth pursuing before scaling tactics.
Where I’ve been most useful is helping identify:
whether a monetization hypothesis is actually learnable
which single behavior would signal real willingness to pay
and when continuing optimization is justified vs when stopping saves time
If that framing still feels useful for where you are, I’m happy to review the proposal through that lens and give direct feedback on the assumptions and signals you’re testing.
