A new chapter begins for my YouTube channel

I am making a big change on my channel, for the better. And since I can always appreciate it when other KZbinrs do this I wanted to be transparent as well. Let’s start this new journey in 2024!

So good to hear that you’re scaling back and focusing on yourself. Burnout is a real kick in the butt. I only recently found your content after deciding that I want to learn web design and started watching your tutorials. It’s so helpful and well put together. Thank you for all your hard work and I wish you the best in the future.

[@theofficelab]

As a fellow creator, I 100% feel your thoughts and decision. Scaling back and cutting down the pressure is a sound choice! Listening to yourself, your inner well-being and happiness is probably the most crucial key for your long-term success. I am looking forward to all the wonderful videos and ventures we will see on your channel in the future. And remember, we as your community care about you and are happiest when you are happy ☺

[@ceesvanstam1963]

Heel veel succes en doe de dingen waar je energie van krijgt. Plezier in het leven is zo belangrijk.

[@mounirdupre]

I am in the same position Rino. Also, we grew up and our community too. So no problem with this ! Good luck

[@NicholasZein]

Rino, I wish you all the best in this new phase, and I hope you can find the joy you're looking for to create content in a healthier way for you! I'm sure whatever direction you take will inspire us! 💪

[@heinvanvlastuin5418]

Well said.

[@heinvanvlastuin5418]

Well said.

[@drnic01]

Rino, dank voor je openheid en je verhaal. Ik blijf je volgen want ik heb enorm veel profijt gehad bij al de informatie die je in je video’s heb gegeven. Top 👍

[@fassie79]

Hi Rino, goede video, bedankt voor 't delen! Veel succes met je nieuwe avontuur!

[@Semmetje11lolly]

I'm all for it! Do what you wanna do, we are here to support you!

[@jim6477]

I do appreciate the honesty, thanks. More social? Not for me sorry, I don't have tiktok nor instagram. I hope you'll find the right balance between making money and have the time for yourself. Good luck!

[@Luckeydogs]

Good for you Rino! I love the choice to go with your name and to be real with your audience. Inspiring. Thank you.

[@colibricontent7006]

I totally understand you, and will keep watching. :) Cant wait to hear about the books and topics you care about, for instance, and see you own portfolio website. It's a good thing that you're taking care of yourself this way. :)

[@eddiek8185]

Thank you for being real and sharing your challenges, running a business requires one to make adjustments. We don't normally get to hear the struggles, everyone on KZbin wants to be seen as successful. It's not easy. You have my support in whatever you do. All the best

[@rinodeboer]

Absolutely! From the outside it all looks so shiny. Thanks for your support 🙏🏼

[@tenderoni21]

I like these changes! I’m in the process of starting my own web design agency and found your channel while doing my research. I particularly love your video on starting without any money. I would love to see more content like that back on the channel. Things like packaging and pricing your services, optimizing processes, client and project management, marketing and sales etc. I’d be very interested in following along on your journey of picking up your agency work again. Especially since I’m Dutch, like you, I value your take on things. Heel veel succes met je nieuwe plannen!

[@rinodeboer]

Thank you for the great ideas! This gives me some inspiration. Jij ook bedankt!

[@Bessnebess]

Nice to e-meet you Rino! I’ve just started following you. And I’m impressed not only the quality of the content, but also you as a person. It is so much valuable that you are open to your audience and sharing some personal things!

[@rinodeboer]

I appreciate that!

[@durohossho]

Wow! I appreciate your honesty and openness. Looking forward to your plugins, man!

[@stevenluguet1903]

Thx for all your good tricks & tips, Rino. Branding yourself instead of your brand is the best decision you can take. Cheers

[@Ammar_J]

Please make personal content like a weekly vlog where you can showcase your life your work how you do all things and how you manage your work and time

[@usercantbeblank]

Before watching the video I was like Oh No! But I’m the end it makes complete sense. I love that identified your problem early and took a decision before it was too late. All the best Rino(always pronounced you as Rhino😅) I will be here with you in your new journey. Lets goo!

[@rinodeboer]

Haha awesome to hear, thank you

[@DesaprenderyAprender]

Your videos have been an essential part of my training in web design, I will keep following you, even if you start selling toothbrushes, as someone said in this space. Greetings from Mexico and the best for you.

[@EldaVanGolden]

Good Luck Rino you deserve it! Thank you for everything 🔥

[@_cb336]

Rrrino, I want to thank you truly for all the times you had the answers I was looking for. In terms of Elementor tutorials, nobody does it better. Wishing you the very best for your post-pivot business. Following you on TikTok rn :) Be well and happy.

[@davidle6453]

Good luck with the changes in your life and work, Rino. I've always enjoyed your videos, website, and courses, and I expect to continue doing so. You're making the right moves, and once again, I wish you continued success and growth.

[@odrua_]

Love from Brazil, you inspire me. I can’t wait for the new content ❤

[@eduardramirez]

Vamos Rino! Somos tu equipo te apoyamos! Dale!!!!

[@ryankeeneylawyer]

Hi Rino! Keep up the good work. I watched many hours of your videos early on in my web development journey, and it's because of your videos that I was able to transform my career and my income through doing Wordpress and Elementor work for clients and for my own companies. I still use those skills and lessons that I learned from your videos, all these years later. Glad to see that your journey is evolving, cheers bro!

[@rinodeboer]

Great to hear! Nice work

[@slmattus]

I deeply appreciate your vulnerability. The way you’re talking about wanting to be able to share different aspects of yourself online reflects my desires too. Your strength and beautiful example is so inspiring. Can’t wait to see how this unfolds for you… and us! We’re so lucky to be following you! Thank you, Rrrrrino! 💜

[@Joeltraylorart]

I've learned so much from your videos. Thanks for everything!

[@jay22o]

Dude, I have to thank you for so many tips and tricks! You are awesome, and keep being you dude.

[@rafaelazuaje]

You’re an inspiration for me man! And I appreciate you being vulnerable with us. That’s definitely of a man with courage and a huge conscience! Best of luck on this new journey 🫶🏼

[@DaveFoy]

Good luck, Rino! All the best to you.

[@rinodeboer]

Thanks Dave! Nice to e-meet 🙏🏻

[@DaveFoy]

@@rinodeboer You too!

[@zerobambiro]

I want to be honest: I always just come to your channel if i have some questions about Elementor and not to see how you are doing. I like the way how you explain. It's understandable tho that you want to change some stuff.

[@subtronik23]

Keep up the great work whatever the brand!

[@stefanfrankefotografie]

Great Decision :) you Name it: Broatcast youreself. We are humans and in longterm always interested in persons life and journey.

[@rinkap1030]

Go Rino, go do the thing that makes you happy. I hope you keep making elementor tutorials though. And I wanna thank you becuase you are the person who got me to start a website creation business. I have learned a hell of a lot from you and I think the way your brain works and the way you talk is easy to follow, it makes sense to me, so thank you!

[@EldarGezalov]

I am not a subscriber, but I have been following your progress for a few years. I do quite similar projects for another web design platforms, and it was nice to see a fellow educator helping people make websites without coding. Long story short, you are doing the right move. Make your main channel about yourself, and then you can always have side channels/platforms for specific topics. Good luck with your new changes and all the best in 2024!

[@LearnUpstairs]

As a fellow creator who stumbled on your channel while creating my own website, thanks a ton for this honest video! It's truly something I relate to and it helps a lot to hear how others decide to face this challenge. Looking forward to this new phase, Rhino! Good luck!

[@rinodeboer]

Awesome to hear, good luck with your journey too. Cool channel you got!

[@tashuys]

How exciting! Looking forward to more varied content, then. Good luck 😊

[@LeeWaiHong]

thanks for your sharing.

[@itsmianaqeel]

@Rino Best Decision.. Wishing you best of luck. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@itsmianaqeel]

Can I now Use LivingwithPixels name 🤭

[@PicSta]

The big pressure is the bitter pill to take, and you have to think of new content hastily. Of course the content has to be interesting for your audience and efforts ideas, inspiration and a lot of research. Staying informed, updated and curious on the things happening out here in the Web Dev World also takes time. Everything together results into pressure, if you can't organize yourself. You might have noticed, that the circle closes now and lead to one big fact. Being a KZbinr isn't easy. Rino, it could be the right way to back off and do something like a “reset” to ground yourself again. Good luck what ever comes next.

[@rinodeboer]

Thank you for the input. I think you are right about the conclusion. And I was already thinking about doing a 1 month break as a reset. So thanks again 🙏🏻

[@techbyfinne]

Thanks for your work

[@WPAcademyPK]

That’s what i am planning, thank you for the inspiration!

[@warrenmanuelito2767]

I know Elementor because of you, Rrrino. ❤

[@Elsteck]

Hartstikke goed, je moet je richten op wat energie geeft en mooie dingen maken is voor jou gewoon wat erbij hoort, met je poten in de klei, lekker geaard. Ik ga absoluut niet instagrammen en tiktokken, dus hoop dat je veel inspiratie krijgt om te KZbinn over van alles en nog wat 😘

[@emmanuel4christ1]

You are amazing, sir. Thanks for your amazing content over the years. Wishing you good health all round 👌

[@kerawelt2008]

Actually you are a damned good teacher !

[@TheStrategist314]

Only did UI/UX for a bit...wasn't the biggest fan. But I will say that I enjoy your videos.

[@GaynorCarrillo]

this video was kinda expected. Good luck and i look forward to you moving forward. i will be there with you because you still give what you always did, 💯only your brand has grown because you have. 💫💫💜💜

[@rinodeboer]

Interesting to hear, why did you see it coming? And thanks for your support 🙏🏼

[@Thailand-Divers-Phuket]

I wish you all the best with the new moves :) :)

[@UrielSoto]

I feel the same way. Practice what you preach. You're a talented person so I don't see that changing anything. You should enjoy what you put out. I know I always have or else I would have gone a different direction on my channel. P.s Im developing my own plugins currently so I'll have some plugin development videos out in the future.

[@rinodeboer]

Nice to hear man. Send me a DM on IG please, would love to connect since we are in a similar journey @rinodeboer

[@markhogan77]

Keep evolving.. just like the world is !! 👍👍

[@Brammen]

try dark mode... seriously!

[@MbonisiM]

Thanks for sharing, I'm on this WordPress Website Design but I don't know how to create clean good design

[@heinvanvlastuin5418]

Thank you for sharing some of your life lessons with us. And sorry to hear about your hardships in the last months. I will keep on following your work.

[@TomaszMorawski]

Thx Rino! Congrats! Nice decision transparent! Good luck on your journey! Inspired 😊

[@beatrisprinz3421]

Congratulation to your very wise decision!!! Please keep me informed about your "tutorials regards development wordpress plugins!" Hopefully soon ... 😉

[@MurphyDesignSolutions]

Well done! I always appreciate honesty 🙂

[@anitius101]

Hey Rino, I really like your videos. Found your channel recently...I'm not sure you'll read this message but I'm an old school graphic designer, now ui/ux designer building my own design agency atm. My dream has been to live in South East Asia for the last 5 years, connect with solopreneurs and connect with the nomad community. I would love to know if you have any resources to share on how to go about this as a middle-aged, single women. How did you decide to go to south east asia? Who helped you the most when you got there? Where did you rent to stay at the beginning? And so on...(from the pov of a designer) If you could go deep into this topic it would be awesome, if not, no problem. Thanks anyways for your content 😊

[@cherylphotographer]

Rino, I am sorry about what you have gone through. A fire? No one expects that. I will say that this video, even though it came after a disaster, has a lot of value. I am not in the business of building websites for others; I am a photographer who likes making things. (Who knows...if I ever get tired of lugging gear around at weddings and events, I might pivot...) That is why I found you and signed up for your course, which BTW is the best investment I've made so far in website design. In this video, you are authentic, and I'm sure many followers can empathize. It has provided me with a glimpse into who you are, your struggles, and your successes. I so appreciate your sharing this with your viewers. I have so much respect for you and I wish you continued success as you move forward!

[@AdrianaRiveraPro]

Good luck in the new journey. Maybe some SEO applied on your websites and or web advertising Google, bing, etc? Thank you

[@PassionFunda]

Great to Rebranding your self. You can make this channel as a community base network hub. And Launch your name as New platform as yours portfolio business

[@dianegibbs]

Thanks for sharing! You are awesome and I love the perspective you bring, you have taught me a ton about elementor! I always go to you to see how to deal with the changes elementor stuff. You are awesome!

[@DonovanGlass]

Or R-I-N-O eg. Republican in Name Only. Huge political saying in the USA ;) hehe

[@amFortunate]

maak je niet zo druk gap, doe lekker waar je zelf zin in hebt

[@juliorodriguez693]

Rino, can you do a simple video on how to add proper line-height and paragraph spacing on Wordpress blog posts? There are no good videos. I am stuck... frustrated...

[@BusinessWithDimi]

I can only wish you good luck, mate. For the last month, I have watched almost all of your videos and I can say they are all great. I am currently moving my business from management consulting to digital consultancy and for the last half a year I had to learn plenty of new things related to the digital representation (that's how I came across to your channel here). And I KNOW how difficult and how time consuming it is to create a single video. In brief, you've been a great inspiration to me for the last month. Again, whish you best of luck. And if you allow me, just a friendly piece of advice - try not to get too fuzzy when you plan your other content creation activities. Best!

[@amyabjork]

Love this, Rino...congrats on doing what's right for YOU!

[@realJohnJohn]

buzzfeed has good profitable YT model plus few extra tools

[@rigidhammer7376]

switch to content creator like pranking people and you will get million subs and viewers.

[@achrafsouissi2103]

thank you very much Rino for opening up, and best of luck

[@CappicheGames]

Good luck with everything Rino!

[@SondraSneed]

Would love your style of explanation to cover those platforms. “Create a workflow with social media platforms” stuff like that.

[@Gvanverseveld]

Ik heb veel aan je gehad. Ik had niet kunnen bedenken dat het leven van een professionele youtuber toch wel wat meer vraagt dan een presentatie. Goed dat je op tijd even afstand neemt, dan kom je veel sterker terug. Neem je rust.

[@Wpespresso]

I really enjoyed watching this video, as I’m pretty in the same situation and I can relate, in my case I’m still not good as you on doing KZbin so I can’t for sure leave my clients, but that’s not the only reason, like you I enjoy building websites and having client work is quite fun (not always) but thanks a lot for sharing your experience we all appreciate it a lot ❤ good luck with the new chapter 😊

[@romainjourdan]

Bold move. Liked the honesty. Good luck 👍🏻

[@nelgster]

it would be interesting if you did a video on your current office setup and the equipment you use and why.

[@markjszymanski]

Everyone is moving from brand name to personal name in their educational/consulting content branding. Great move 👏👏 personal brand is key

[@sergio_grez]

Great decision Rino. All the best.

[@brendale3179]

Appreciate all the content you create and educate. Can't wait to see your next evolution :)

[@ravakano]

Good for you bud. I did a similar thing with my company. Wish you the best of luck,

[@dadude3977]

Good move be yourself , that’s what matters

[@li8houzz]

You are always the best! Whatever you do

[@learnwhispering]

💕💕being a KZbin creator is brutal. I fully understand your video. Making videos for fun only is very different to making a living via KZbin. It's the modern age gold rush delusional way to get rich. It's hard work!

[@rinodeboer]

Yes, absolutely. It's not as easy as some make it out to be. And it should be about delivering a message, not about making money. Thanks for your comment

[@Al-ImprovEd2022]

You are, were excellent.

[@nosh0383]

I love your videos man!

[@Mr_Kenneth]

Reno, you are a wonderful presenter and educator man

[@pekamwarsomesh]

you are best bro , now also you make cool videos

[@AmitPradhanNP]

Finally subscribed. Thanks for sharing your ideas and educating us. Love from Nepal 🇳🇵

[@NickHeurter]

Cool Rino!! Het is onwijs gaaf en inspirerend om te zien dat je jezelf steeds opnieuw blijft vernieuwen. 💪🏻😃 Keep Rockin’

[@rinodeboer]

Dankjewel man! Tof om wat van je te horen.

[@jimispears]

You've played a significant role in my life as a source of knowledge for Elementor web design and site management. I appreciate everything you've published and I'm looking forward (as a fan) to what you create next on this channel. All the best!

[@mareile3519]

💪🍀

[@KirstenMalinee]

This video convinced me to subscribe to your channel. I've been searching for tutorials on how to build a website and found your 'Wordpress Blog with Elementor' series, but I wanted to know who I was learning from. I appreciate hearing about your journey.

[@renearreola7812]

This is smart. Moving forward, personal branding is going to be important for the solopreneurs, more so than ever. Let's face it, there are tons of designers and developers. But, you have to have a personality, right? That is, until the pendulum swings in the other direction ;)

[@rinodeboer]

Yea I agree.

[@PenalbaToday]

Burnout got literal

[@henson_prod]

This is really great Rino. When a product matures and slowly gets slow in terms of improvements. You will soon ran out of content to share. I think diversifying your content beyond Elementor is alao a huge win for us. You are the best regardless.

[@mjaydb]

I’m happy with your Elementor course :) Ben benieuwd naar wat komen gaat. Succes

[@websitesbeheer283]

Hoi Rino, ik heb vele filmpjes van je bekeken en veel geleerd. En ik snap zeker je besluit. Het is en blijft een hectische wereld en voordat je het weet wordt je overmeesterd en loop je je zelf voorbij. Dus gas terugnemen is altijd goed om weer tot je zelf te komen. We gaan zien wat je ons straks weer brengt. Succes en bedankt wat je ons tot nu toe hebt gegeven.

[@estycki]

Now I know your name is Rino 😅

[@paulb6550]

Sounds great. Wish you ll the best and will watch with interest (and I'm sure still learn). Well done!

[@akuehler12]

Rino - found your channel a few months ago as I began building websites with Elementor. Your videos have been immensely helpful. Appreciate all you do. Looking forward to watching your channel for a long time to come and excited to see what you do next!
