Evergreen, as with leaves that never fall from trees, these lists, reviews, articles, guides and more continally provide value, year after year.
Sound good? Sure it does, but the challenge lay in the manufacture of posts that not only service your audience, but also succeed in standing outside the norm.
A quick Google search on the term ‘Evergreen content‘ and you’ll see much the same posts, over and over and over again. And while the reason to provide these posts, posts that are familiar and expected is of worth, it also fails to add creative or individual value to your blog and fascinate the reader.
So, here are our lists of the types of articles you should be sharing within the Evergreen forest of content, the why’s you should bother and the how’s you can stand-out from the rest of the trees.
