Monetizing a Site and Resolving a Dilemma

Hi,

I’ve been running a website called Lawctopus since my 3rd year of college in 2010. It’s grown to become India’s most popular and trusted website for law students.

We get 50k+ unique visitors every month, 250k+ pageviews.

15k+ Facebook fans (growing by 25 a day)

4000+ Email subscribers (we started that late, but growing by 15 a day)

We’ve got some good ads from leading players like Lexis Nexis, London School of Economics (for their LLM program) etc.

However, though it impacts thousands of law students (positively, I hope) it still is a lifestyle business.

Dilemma:

Should Lawctopus stay focussed on content?

Or should we get into things like education (courses for law students)?

Writing/publishing is my first passion; education is a close second.
