Evergreen Content and YOU [INFOGRAPHIC]
When you’re trying to build out an effective content strategy, determining whether you need evergreen content or timely content can make a big difference in how your blog develops.
Both timely and evergreen content have their place in your content lineup and inside your sales funnel. One isn’t particularly better than the other, but the difference can be a little confusing if you’re new to the content game.
What’s the difference between Evergreen Content and Timely Content?
Simply put, evergreen content is content that’s always relevant and fresh to your audience. It doesn’t take much effort to help the content stay relevant after it has been created — you just need to do a little maintenance here and there every couple of months.
The real goal here is to make it timeless and comprehensive content so that you’re constantly receiving traffic from organic search results because readers find it useful and keep coming back. You also need to make sure that it aligns with your brand and your brand story.
On the other hand, timely content comes with an expiration date. This could be anything from announcements about upcoming sales all the way to an analysis of the latest trends in fashion.
Sooner or later, timely content is no longer useful or effective. The content won’t be something that readers come back to, and it won’t be something that your team invests a ton of time in.
