· 3 min read

This is how you can stay updated with the latest trends so you can convert them into evergreen topics for your blog.

In my yesterday's post, I suggested all of you to convert the latest trends into evergreen topics to grow your blog's traffic.

Some of you guys may be interested to know how one can stay updated with the latest trends and convert them into evergreen topics. In today's post, I will be writing exactly about it, so keep reading this post.

There are three different ways you can stay updated with the latest trends and later convert some of them into evergreen topics.

  1. Companies Newsroom
  2. News Sites
  3. Evergreen Sites Who Convert Trends

Now let's understand each of these ways in detail.

Companies Newsroom: There are several companies operating within a niche. All the companies are consistently making new developments. They make these announcements public from time to time. For that, they have their Newsroom, Blog page, Twitter handle, etc. What you can do is start following these companies. From there, you will stay updated with all the developments these companies are making. If you see there is a certain news, instead of writing it is as news, try to convert them into How to's. The how-to articles will be evergreen in nature. Personally, I have a bookmarks folder containing the Newsroom of all the major companies within my niche, and from there, I stay updated with their developments and convert them into evergreens.

News Sites: Next, you can make the list of all the news sites within your niche. These are the sites that deal with the latest developments in a certain niche. Create a bookmark folder of all these sites and visit them on a regular basis. Whenever a news will broke, these sites will cover it. Again, instead of writing news, try to convert them into evergreen. Suppose WhatsApp has dropped a feature called Call Links. Instead of writing WhatsApp has launched Call Links, try to cover it as How to Use WhatsApp Call Links. It will make your article evergreen in nature.

Evergreen Sites Who Converts Trends: You should aim to convert trends into evergreens by following companies newsrooms and news sites. If you do this, you will be ahead of the competition. However, there are times when your competitors will be ahead of you. So, you also need to keep your focus on them as well. Earlier in one of my posts, I had suggested to analyse competitors to find untapped evergreen topics. Similar to that approach, this time, you have to analyse how they are converting trends into evergreens. Try to learn from them so the next time you don't need to be dependent on them and can convert trends into evergreen yourself. This will give you an edge over them.

So, these are three ways I follow to stay updated with trends and then try to convert them into evergreens. As you guys know, my niche in Blogging is Tech, so the experience I shared above is of Tech niche, but it will apply to most niches, and you can use these suggestions for your blog as well.

That's all I wanted to share in this post.

Thanks for reading. Have a great day!
