I asked the AI about Medium-effort Tips for Evergreen Articles for InLEO

Evergreen content is any content that stays relevant over time. An evergreen article can be read years after being published and still be useful to the target audience.

Since INLEO announced a system for rewarding Evergreen articles on the blockchain's interface, I've been thinking about it.

Most of my articles are fueled by passion rather than my choice of audience. I struggle to come up with ideas for this type of content. Most Evergreen ideas I had are probably done millions of times by many people.

So I decided to ask ChatGPT multiple questions to get my creative juices going. One of the questions I asked came out with interesting results. Below I'm going to list my prompt and the response I got. I'll also put my opinion on each of the AI ideas.

The Prompt

One question I asked ChatGPT was about medium-effort ideas. I figured if the idea was too hard I won't be able to replicate it. If the idea is too easy, its market is probably saturated.

Me: "As an expert content creator, please give me some unusual tips or strategies that require a medium level of effort to execute for Evergreen articles."

The Ideas

ChatGPT: Creating evergreen articles that stand out often involves unique approaches that require a medium level of effort to execute. Here are some unusual tips and strategies for crafting such content:

1. Expert Roundup:

• Collaborate with a group of industry experts to provide diverse perspectives on a topic. For example, "50 Digital Marketing Experts Share Their Best SEO Tips."

As I thought about this, it wouldn't be impossible to do this on HIVE asking expert Hivers about their opinions on various stuff. Another way to do this, is with Google research. I can look for experts' public statements on whatever topic I'm looking up.

2. Original Research Studies:

• Conduct your own surveys, studies, or experiments within your niche and present the findings in an article, such as "The Impact of Daily Meditation: A 2-Year Study."

It'll be great if the surveys or studies are something that can be researched using only a few people. I need to keep track of things I do so that I can use my data in an article one day.

3. Myth-Busting:

• Challenge and debunk common misconceptions or myths related to your field. "Debunking 10 Common Myths About Healthy Eating."

I never thought of this type of article before, but it's going to be interesting to research myths about my niches, Art, Fiction, and Hive, and compile articles debunking a few of each.

4. Evolution Over Time:

• Write articles that track the evolution of a concept, technology, or trend. For instance, "The Changing Face of Social Media: A 10-Year Analysis."

I remember watching a lot of "Evolution of X Game Series" before.

I guess even average-quality articles about the evolution of a niche will be a great read for people interested in the topic. It's also a type of article that can be easily updated over time.

Maybe I'll do something like that for the games I play...

Or maybe I'll do "The Evolution of My Art" and post a few pieces from each year I've been posting online. Yeah, maybe I should do that.

5. Case Studies:

• In-depth analysis of real-world examples that offer insights and lessons. "How a Small Business Achieved Explosive Growth: A Case Study."

Similar to the Original Research point above. I could do case studies for websites I'm using. Applying this to real-world case studies would be harder, I assume.

6. Success Stories:

• Share inspiring stories of individuals or businesses who have achieved remarkable success. "From Zero to Millionaire: The Success Story of [Person/Company]."

Would love to write an original article about that someday, but I don't plan on interviewing people any time soon.

Speaking of stories... Isn't it interesting that every single successful person has started from zero and suffered during their journey? (Maybe multiple times in their life.) Sadly, not every person who suffers becomes successful.

7. Historical Parallels:

• Draw comparisons between historical events and current issues in your niche. "The Great Depression and Its Lessons for Financial Crisis Management."

That's not something I'd like to write about. (Except maybe if I found a great idea in some of my niches.) Still, it wouldn't have crossed my mind so I have to thank ChatGPT for the idea.

8. Interview an Unknown Expert:

• Find lesser-known but highly knowledgeable individuals in your niche and feature them in an interview-style article.

While I'm not into interviewing people, I think this would be great to do one day, especially on interviewing people on HIVE where many of us are content creators who need more audience for their work.

9. Niche-Specific Glossaries:

• Create comprehensive glossaries or dictionaries for niche-specific terms, acronyms, or jargon. "Ultimate Glossary of AI and Machine Learning Terms."

My first thought when I read this was to make an "anime" glossary. I'm knowledgeable about a lot of anime slang from the 2010s and I could have enough words and explanations to fill a short book.

Gaming glossary and Internet Slang would be great to write about too.

Maybe I could create a glossary for HIVE too. A collection of blockchain/community terms and what they mean. The article would have a great re-readability if I had tips in it too.

10. Interactive Content:

• Develop interactive tools, quizzes, or calculators that engage your audience and provide value. "Financial Independence Calculator" or "Home Energy Savings Quiz."

I have thought about before about creating a Calculator web-app, but couldn't find a calculator idea that hasn't been made by someone else.

Writing a Quiz is something I should do. I asked ChatGPT to expand on this, and I got a bunch of "assessment quizzes" ideas like Personality Quizzes and Health/Relationships quizzes. I might try doing something like that.

11. Behind-the-Scenes:

• Offer a behind-the-scenes look at your own journey or the inner workings of a relevant process. "A Day in the Life of a Food Critic."

As an artist, I can imagine doing a bunch of "Behind-the-scenes" articles about my art. I consider my #ProofofPractice and Art Timelapse videos as part of this category.

12. Infographics and Visual Guides:

• Create visually appealing, evergreen infographics or visual guides that explain complex concepts or provide valuable information at a glance.

I'd love to design Infographics. I have the necessary art skills, but I don't have the experience. I'd like to enter a course on making Infographics or have a mentor.

Infographics do well on Pinterest so I could use that to drive traffic to my articles.

13. Hidden Gems:

• Share little-known or underrated resources, tools, or strategies within your niche. "Hidden Gems: Underrated Resources for Content Creators."

This is another idea I never thought about but instantly liked. I love watching Hidden Gems videos about Video Games. I can think of some of some Hidden Gems myself.

This requires some research, but it's certainly something I can do.

14. Interviews with Local Legends:

• Spotlight local experts, artists, or personalities who are well-respected in your area but not widely known.

My first thought to this was "No can do."

After thinking it through, I know a lot of Arab artists online, and while they have their own journeys, I might write articles about them and what they do to the international audience.

15. Timeline of Innovation:

• Develop a timeline that tracks the history of innovation and technological advancements in your industry. "Timeline of Space Exploration: 1950s to the Present."

This is very similar to the "Parallels in History" point above. I'm not sure if I want to write an article about that, but glad to have another idea I never thought about before.

Asking Around Hive

I asked the community on D.Buzz and InLeo if they have any Evergreen content strategies. The only answer I got was from @magnacarta. He said gave me some SEO tips:

magnacarta > "Evergreen posts benefit from good SEO, so if any older posts are less than optimal they should be optimized. That's also a good time to fix typos or formatting. Linking to older content helps with SEO, too."

While his answer was the only one, I also got comments from @pepetoken @biyimi on the question's post.

Can you think of Another Idea?

So, these were the ideas I got from ChatGPT about Evergreen content. The ideas I'm more likely to try are "Evolution Over Time," "Glossaries," "Quizzes" and "Infographics." I might do some interviews with Hivers if I had the chance. It was nice to collect all of these ideas to go back to from time to time.

Do you have another idea to add? Have an opinion you'd like to share? I look forward to your comments.

Salam (Peace.)
