24.03 | Mar '24: Great progress!

This month was sunny in all sorts of ways! Here in the Netherlands, we saw the first real sunny days and also on StageRebels, a lot of new things have been added!

Say hello to my eBook: Becoming a StageRebel

After weeks (read: months) of writing, it is with the greatest pleasure to announce that the very first version of my eBook is done! You can find it here <- Click...
Remember, it is still a very first version and given I am not a native English speaker, I expect a lot of grammar errors to be there, but please feel free to download, read and share your thoughts! Also, if you like it, please share it with family, friends and coworkers to spread the word!

Writing the articles...

Connected to the eBook, I was able to pretty much finish all the articles I wanted to write for the "Start to Finish" collection! A great step forward in getting the website filled with valuable information for you to learn from...
Another moment for me to be very proud of!

Visualising the articles...

I now completely settled on the style of visuals I want for the website and the brand. All the articles in the "Crash Course" and the "Start to Finish" collections have been updated with the needed headers and logo's and I even gave it my best shot to come up with a logo for the Social media. Somehow, the software for the website really kills the logo when I upload it, so I need to do some homework on why this happens. For now, I am happy with the progress and will soon start with updating the graphics for the "Power-Ups" articles as well!

Videos & Scripting...

Other than a lot of thinking about how I want to tackle this subject, there is not much news to report. My biggest challenge at the moment is time and location. I have been pretty busy with getting the basic articles out in the open, so I didn't have much time left for the video side of things. On top of that, I am not sure where to record the video's. At home I don't really have a suitable place yet. When it comes to the tech, I think I have everything I need to start recording. It is not professional grade hardware, but it is good enough to start shooting.

In short, I need some more time and a proper location...

Social Media Update...

Other than changing the information and graphics on the socials, not much has happened yet. I will probably wait with really posting here until I have some video content uploaded, so I have something to point towards. At the same time, I might already start with pushing some articles and the eBook out in the open. Just to get some first attention to StageRebels.com :)

Conclusion

To me it felt like a very productive month, the most productive since I started. I feel like I am nearing the stage where I can start going out in public, but now that the time for recording the video's is coming closer, I also noticed some little jitters. Time to read my own eBook I guess ;)

For April, I plan to have the Power-Ups updated with the latest graphics and probably will add a few more articles there as well. I also want to fix the logo issue with the website and I plan to share the first bits and pieces on the socials. Last but not least, I really want to start recording, even if it is just to try things out without posting it at this very moment.
