Notas do Editor
- These are the 7 steps you will need to learn to become an evergreen master. You will define your audience, set the topics, create a schedule, update the content, amplify via social media, repurpose on other channels and lastly, you will convert evergreen readers into paid customers! Every step is the base for the next. So don’t skip one when trying out the evergreen strategy!
- Our teams try to get a holistic perspective on the audience they’ll be writing for. We start with building personas, that is: a precise description of a specified audience group, with a name and a photo. Atop of this slide you’ll see 4 of the Ebner personas we use every day. We try to fully understand why, how and what for they will use our evergreens. That changes the tone of the content! An evergreen for a young marketing manager is very different from the same evergreen written for a marketing vice president.
- We only write for topics that have been discovered based on data and analytics. First, we go to SEO tools like Searchmetrics to look for topics that have a high annual search volume and low competition scores. Google Trends will help us to add trend patterns. We then reconfirm the keywords by checking against Google Adwords results to see the ad prices and environments. Once we’re confident that we’ve found a new topic we’ll build large universes with thousands of keywords. They will be clustered into topical groups, some of the groups will be included in a meta groups. If you want to learn more about building great keyword universes talk to the guys at the Mequoda Group – they are amazing!
- Now we’ll create schedules, one for every weekday and one for the whole year. While the daily routine takes into account single keywords and smaller groups the yearly plan will focus on uber topics and many keywords. The daily is derived from the yearly schedule. News are included in the daily schedule but only on a secondary base and every news must link to at least one evergreen.
- Updates are the core essence of an evergreen’s success. The first time we publish the content we push it out via newsletters, social and on PR channels. We’ll do the same whenever we update each evergreen during the quarterly cycles. Essentially we’ll be refreshing every evergreen once a quarter to make sure it stays relevant and delivers constant audience engagement. Every update needs to get pushed out to newsletters, the website and to all social accounts again. This will reinforce the audience engagement.
- We love to use tools like Hootsuite to deliver the content to dozens of social channels. We also have an update schedule just for social media. Every 45 days we’ll reshare each evergreen on our social accounts. We’ve found that as great add-on to this strategy Jon Loomer’s retargeting method for Facebook works great. Here you’ll be retargeting your website visitors on Facebook to convert them to e-mail subscribers. On Linkedin we deliver evergreen links, excerpts or full contents to distribute them via the accounts of our employees.
- We break each evergreen content apart into many pieces. MEASURE every piece at every channel. One long evergreen is a great resource for many smaller contents. So what we’ll do is taking content excerpts, photos, iillustrations or key facts from the evergreens to distribute them on many channels. Here you see a sample evergreen matrix that shows you how and where we distribute each evergreen.
- Now it’s time to convert our evergreen readers to e-mail subscribers. Go to sumome.com and install a welcome popup that shows up after 2 seconds on your evergreen, then launch a Sumome scrollbar that’s permanently on your websiteNext you go to addthis.com and sign up for their exit popup. With mailchimp.com you’ll create a fully automized newsletter that’s driven via RSS. Mailchimp pushes out a newsletter with links to the evergreen updates and to all new contents.
