The Timely and Timeless Content
And Which One Is Best For You?
Have you ever heard these terms before?
We all are content creators (writers) and we should know about what is the timely and timeless content types.
Sometimes we really forget what we are writing about, and we just write whatever comes to our mind, someday we write about timely content and sometimes timeless.
Writing both types of content is not bad, but there are also merits and demerits to both of them.
Let’s discuss both—
Timely Content
Timely contents are the content type that is happening at a particular time and it is a trading topic that you have to write about, imagine news websites, they write about timely content.
Recently Elon mus bought twitter for $44 Billion — comes under timely content.
But why do we call it timely content? because timely content only performs well for a few hours a few days or a few months they are not evergreen content.
Nobody would be interested in 2025 why Elon musk bought Twitter and what it cost him. All the topics that are happening right now come under timely content from news, media, and things happening around the world.
Here are some examples of timely content —
- Bitcoin Price Prediction In April
- Why Ukraine — Rusia War Is Happening
- This Girl lost Her Life Saving
- Why Elon Musk Made An Offer to Twitter
And so on…
Should you write about timely content? — Hell Yes. But not often.
You should write about timely content you can share your thoughts, and opinions on that topic. It will boost your growth because it's — Trending.
Timeless Content
Timeless contents are the contents that are evergreen, once you write it. It could work for 2 years, 5 years even decades. Timeless contents are not dependent on any trend. but it depends on what type of content you writing about. Every domain has its own potential of growth.
Let’s take some examples of timeless content —
- How to Become a World-class Writer
- 5 Productivity Apps You Should Use
- 7 Advice For College Students
- Don’t Ruin Your Life For Shitty Things
- The Subtle art of not giving a fuck
In timeless content, you don't need to worry about time. You are the king of your domain.
All writers and content creators focus on timeless content. I know few people who make and create timely content and they only depend on that. But they are — very few.
So what you can do?
Master the timeless content(besides if you don’t work for news sites or something trendy) and also create some trendy content whenever it is needed. (only if it's fit for you)
Period.
So this was my words about timely and timeless content, let me know what type of content you are writing about? and which category you are involved in?
Keep Writing.
