Objective
The client wanted to create India’s first integrated Hindi literary community portal and app for emerging writers, poets, and storytellers. The vision was to connect Hindi lovers across India and the diaspora, offering them a platform to write, participate in contests, gain recognition, and earn through creative expression.
Challenges
- Lack of platform visibility in a niche, language-specific segment
- Needed daily user growth and content submissions to build momentum
- Low participation in contests due to trust issues in online platforms
- Goal to monetize the portal via ads and brand partnerships over time

- Built features like:
- User registration & profiles
- Story/blog submission with approval workflows
- Monthly writing contests with auto-display of winners
- Points & rewards system for engagement
- Integrated push notifications for contest alerts and results
2) SEO Optimization
- Optimized for keywords like “Hindi writing contests,” “write poems in Hindi,” etc.
- Indexed over 2,000 user-generated pages for Google ranking
- Improved organic search reach by 220% through blog backlinks and metadata optimization
3) Facebook & Instagram Marketing
- Ran creative campaigns featuring top user posts, quotes, reels with Hindi narration, and contest teasers
- Organized Live poetry readings and “Story of the Month” spotlights to engage new followers
- Used Instagram Reels with trending audio + captions to attract young regional creators
