Creating a Content Ecosystem
The best way to utilize seasonal posts is to link them to smaller projects and posts. In your in-depth animal tutorials include a mini post with the steps a list of materials and a guide you can print.
For your “Roadmap for Beginners: or other beginner posts include links for each animal. Your “Materials guide” should include all the materials and tools to get started. As you update your links they will help retain viewers for your blog and improve your visibility in searches.
To maintain the seasonal traffic on your page update links and tutorials each year and add new ideas or trending palettes.
