I used to have a Blogger where I posted song lyric translations as a hobby. Unfortunately I never promoted it anywhere and I was also pretty bad at making the website look nice, so I barely got any traffic at all. When I did, it was only because I posted to reddit asking if people had any requests.
Also my website would never appear on google for some reason, probably because of low traffic.
I’d love some ideas and suggestions as to what I can use, if you have any.

You could post them on here 
Then your lyrics would also appear on Google
Did you maybe disable that search engines are allowed on your page? There is a setting that keeps search engines out so your website wouldn’t appear on google etc.
Translation is also my full-time job, so ideally I’d have them consolidated somewhere for easy viewing if I ever need them to boost my portfolio or something.

I had that enabled! But I also changed the url twice in 5 years, so maybe that messed with the search engines.

That does mess up with search engines, a lot. Blogger/Blogspot is a bitch in that way 
If you’re thinking about making a fanpage + portfolio thing I think I could suggest Neocities which allows for static pages - more of a hassle than anything like Wix or Blogspot but I’ve seen portfolios in there, particularly artists portfolios since it allows for freedom of design etc. There are a lot of vk but also old kpop, jfashion etc fansites. (and programmers most of all.) I feel like it is easy to build community there, particularly of fans of jrock and such.
Otherwise, eh maybe I would stick to Blogspot or Wordpress or Tumblr or whatever and crosspost here and on Reddit or whatever … I miss the days when it was easy to know where to find jrock translations lol.

Git is pretty good, gathered in one place and updatable. Make a readme to write som fluff about it. I’ve used this to store japanese lyrics.
Like so: Example
I wish all the Jrock blogs could be discoverable in One site. It would make it a lot easier to search historical news and posts. Something that could host all the blogs but still allow all the site runners creative freedom

oh yeah I miss the livejournal days so much. There was such a strong sense of community! (I was mostly too young to participate in any meaningful way during its heyday though lol.) By the time I was good enough to translate stuff LJ was mostly dead and I lost access to my account.
