Just hearing the phrase makes me want to curl into a fetal position next to my pile of unpaid invoices and half-empty coffee cups. It’s the darling advice of every content strategist and SEO guru since approximately 2012: “Create evergreen content!…

By Ken Hollow, unpaid astrologer and exhausted manager of one fox spirit’s mystic brand You haven’t known real despair until you’ve tried to build a content calendar dictated not by algorithm trends or analytics — but by the moon. Welcome to my life managing Nana Vix: immortal fox spirit, skincare influencer, and part-time witch. Somewhere…
