"I swear we've covered this topic before. Why can't I find it?" This is the question I asked 20 minutes before I started recording today's episode. Because I knew we'd covered this topic, but I couldn't locate where.
Then, it occurred to me. We've only discussed "timely vs. evergreen" when creating content for your audience. Not when it comes to creating content.
Today's episode is a mix of recapping what we've covered on the show (and linking to those episodes in the show notes) and sharing with you what I left out of earlier episodes.
This particular episode is for you if you've heard the words timely and evergreen and have no clue what that is. And if you need a refresher on the pros and cons of these formats, you'll also learn a thing or two.

The Proffitt Podcast - Timely Vs. Evergreen Content
Transcript Summary
In this episode titled "Timely Vs. Evergreen Content," the host delves into the crucial role of evergreen content in SEO and its long-term impact on audience retention.

With an emphasis on creating fresh and relevant content without repetition, the host evaluates the importance of timely content which addresses current trends and news, citing popular examples like planking, the ice bucket challenge, and TikTok dances.
