Build Your Audience with Long Form Evergreen Content [PLUS Finding Readers Webinar]

Hi Reader,

How's your blogging week been?

I was thinking about evergreen content this week (explained by this week's article) and in my reflections came across an article by Nasim Taleb which really captured the spirit of evergreen content which is "playing the long game". Taleb spells it out really well:

The Long Game
The long game is the opposite of the short game. Playing the long game means paying a small price today to make tomorrow easier.

From the outside, the long game looks pretty boring:

• Leaving the party early to make sure you get some sleep
• Eating healthy when everyone else is eating junk
• Investing your relationships every day so you have a foundation when something happens 
• Going for a walk rather than watching Netflix
• Spending less than you make
• … and countless other examples.

The long game isn’t really debatable. Everyone agrees, for example, we should spend less than we make and invest the difference. While you won’t become a millionaire overnight by spending less than you earn, you’ll never become one if you spend more than you earn.

The first step is the hardest. You have to be willing to suffer today in order to not suffer tomorrow. This is why so few people play the long game.
