A bored housewife built a database of Bollywood’s lyrics!

Hello everyone!! Like most of the small town Indian girls, I got married at an early age, and could not pursue to do anything big in my life. It’s been 10 years and I don’t have any regrets. I focussed on looking after my only daughter, who is studying in class three. I was a post graduate in Zoology and could not pursue higher studies because of my marriage. After that I never thought of doing a job or dream anything big in my life.  In these last decade I have stayed in three different cities Chandigarh, Ahmedabad and Mumbai; accompanying my husband where his job took him.

One year back I realized that I should utilize my time in some idea to engage myself. I usually browse internet to get information for my daughter studies. I am big fan of Bollywood as well. I usually follow the lyrics of Bollywood songs in my free time. One day I had an idea – to build up a Lyrics website of Bollywood. I didn’t have any technical knowledge how to build up a site. I spoke to my brother Jubanashwa to help me on the domain get registered and build up a site for that. He encouraged me to do the same and informed me that it can be a source of income through google adsense advertising. But that was not the concern when I started working on the lyrics webportal by collecting the lyrics from different sources. I loved my work, a good knowledge recap on the lyricist, singers and movies so far in Bollywood. I named out the Bollywood Lyrics site as BOLLYRICS.COM

After one year of complete dedication, now Bollyrics.com has almost having all the lyrics of the Indian film industry. The site is getting 2000 views per day. Without any prior technical and online marketing knowledge, I reached whatever I could do alone. I am posting this discussion over here to seek guidance from all the experienced digital entrepreneurs: 

  1. How to monetize it more?  Right now it’s getting 20$ per month placing google adsense on the site. Cost per click is very less for the entertainment site (what I got to know later).
  2. Other way to get traffic?  
  3. Any Social media suggestions to make it more viral?
  4. Suggestion on the look and feel of the website? 
  5. Over all suggestions?
