Stick with me! Are we together?
Good! Next step is eye shadow. I'm gonna be
simple
just one color. Soon you'll be Picasso
just, just drawing everything
but until we get there you don't know
anything, so just
bite your tongue - keep quiet! Step one
Don't put eye shadow on your bare skin,
the colors are not going to be popping
put concealer first on eye shadow base,
and if you come and harass me about this
concealer I will come and have somebody eat your toes
then put them inside your nose - it's the
sun that's misbehaving today
Okay so the brushes are very very
important. I use this one, it's
flat so you can really pack that color
on. Use code James for this one
Morphe eh! See I'm sponsoring you
what's up? You see that, press it
Wow! Jesus! Now take a fluffy brush,
don't touch the middle, just blend the
edge - like that. You can add something here to pop lock
and drop everything. My friend you look
so good, you're doing a marvelous job right now!
Okay guys, ignore that...and this
This is not a makeup video. It is not?  No.
Oh! It is a New YouTuber Tag
Get to know me. Yes! So...
Hello hello hello and welcome back to my channel
beautiful people, my name is Nora G. and
welcome to my Nook. If you are new to my
channel please do not forget to hit that subscribe button
For my returning subscribers, thank you
so much for coming back again,
I love you. Today is my New YouTuber Tag video
Typically this is usually done as a first video for new YouTubers
but as you all know in typical Nora
fashion I didn't do the new YouTuber
Tag as my first video for 3 reasons -
I know you don't care to listen but I'll
tell you anyways before we get into it
So reason number 1 - I have a thing for
numbers. My favorite numbers
are 5, 7, and 9. So I decided to
go with 9 because it was a little bit
farther and it's my birthday number. I'm doing
this on my ninth upload - May 9th baby!
Reason number 2 - I wanted you to see a
little bit of what I have to offer
before letting you know about me even
though I don't even think
these 25 questions actually cover
what a person is all about but we will
try. And reason number 3 - just because I can! Alright  okay
Let's get right into it without wasting
any more of your time
So I will be answering 25 questions today
Yes there are 25 questions but trust me it goes by pretty
quick. I'll be reading questions from my phone. So these
25 questions are technically questions found online
uh made for a new YouTuber Tag. I'm not
sure who made these questions
but as it is a tradition, Nora G's Nook is not exempt
So let's get right into it. Question number 1 -
What is your name, the name of your
channel and what does it mean?
My name is Nora Gweji Epse Wokia
and the name of my channel as you all
know is Nora G's Nook and what does it mean?
So I have a thing for words
that rhyme. I couldn't find something that
rhymes with Nora that actually carried the
meaning of what I wanted my channel to
be. I was torn between
Nest and Nook because you know, Nora's
Nest or Nora G's Nest was more like
my home - kinda. while Nora G's Nook which is Nora G's
Corner, Nook definition of Nook - "corner"
I didn't want it to be Nora G's Corner right
So, or Nora G's - Nora G's World. I wanted something different and
something that actually started with an "N" because of course
Nora. So I went with Nook and that's how
Nora G's Nook came about
So it's Nora's Corner, my little corner where I welcome you all
to share with me my passions.
Question number 2 -
Where are you from?
I am currently Canadian but originally
from Cameroon - a small country in Central Africa with a
population of over 25 million
and...
Spare us the geography lessons! Didn't
you say this was a get to know me tag?
It's not a get to know Cameroon tag.
Yeah, so would you say I am Camer-Canadian?
Question Number 3 - How tall are you? I am a good 5ft 9 of undiluted
goodness!
I am a long girl in other words.
Question number 4 - How old are you?
Are you still waiting for an answer for that? oh
You don't ask a lady her age
But if you must know -
It is whatever you want it to be.
Question number 5 - What are your
hobbies?
Right Brain, tackle this one.
So, what are your hobbies? Food.
Food, but food is not a hobby
Food is my own hobby. So how many times
do you eat in a day?
like 13 times...
Scratch that guys! Anyways, my hobbies will be
dancing yeah for those who know me
yeah they know that that is my hobby.
I dance by myself for myself
and with myself, so yes dancing will be
at the top of the list. Drawing. There was a time when reading
was my hobby but with the busyness of this world
I am thanking God for the app called 12
because I'm able to read books within 12 minutes!
I'm not here to do any promo for any app
Anyways but then yes I would say reading somehow is
my hobby as well. And the art of not
doing anything.
Would TikTok qualify as a hobby?
Yup! Question number 6 -
Is this your first channel? Yes
obviously this is my first channel guys, Thank you!
Question number 7 - What is your
channel about? I elaborate more about this
in the about section of my channel so after
watching this video make sure to read
that again. But I will touch on this a little bit more
my channel is about E-3.
That is, Educating Entertaining and Enlightening
So in all of my videos you would see one
of those three elements or all three
I started this channel as a creative
outlet basically to showcase my passions
which by the way is a lot...
Anyways, basically I am
expressing my passions on my channel
through Food, showcasing healthy fun recipes
uh Fitness challenges and tips, Lifestyle, vlog, decor
uh do-it-yourself (DIY) and RTTJMS which
is Random Things That Just Make Sense
and everything in between.
So you will be sure to see one of those
three elements in all of my videos. It is either out to
Entertain, Educate or Enlighten or all three of them
and just have to have fun guys because
life is too short. Question number 8 -
Who is your target audience? Good question!
You! Yes you! Yes you watching this are my target
audience. My target audience will be anyone and
everyone who enjoys variety - remember they say
"Variety is the spice of life that gives it all its flavor"
Thank you William Cowper. Anyways so yes
my target audience would be anyone
interested in all the aforementioned. So healthy fun recipes,
fitness challenges and tips, decor,  do-it-yourself
or you just want to get
entertained, you want to be enlightened
about something or you just want to
get yourself educated about something
Nora G's Nook is where you want to be.
One way or the other
you will find something on this channel
that will educate you
enlighten you and also entertain you. Question number 9
Why should anyone subscribe to your
channel?
Three reasons why anyone should
subscribe to your channel.
Good question! Reason number one
because I can't do this without you okay
you all are my reason for doing this in
the first place.
You are the Ying to my Yang!
Without you there is no Nora G's Nook
and that is a fact! You all are my
cousins okay - my virtual cousins so please subscribe
and turn on the notification bell so you
can join my nook
virtual family cousin! Secondly,
because I don't have any plans to slack
on content okay, so subscribe to my channel
because I will be dropping consistently
new content every week on Wednesday
11 a.m EST and  4 p.m Central African time
So why won't you want to subscribe to a channel that you're
sure of getting content every week?
Because i don't have any plans to slack
on content, not now, not anytime soon
but then fingers crossed okay, cause life
happens. I promise to continue to deliver
exceptional content to continue to educate
entertain and enlighten you all - namaste. Okay
Thirdly, for obvious reason - because subscription is free!
Okay I know I have to earn your subscriptions okay
but please guys I really appreciate if
you can join my Nook Virtual family
I need you all to thrive, I want you all
to grow with me, I want to start
and continue this journey with you all. I
want all of us to grow
together so make sure to subscribe alright. It is not Netflix. Question number 10 -
List three things we should know about you
First, I am a Financial Advisor/ Investment Consultant with one of the
Big Five banks in Canada, the second thing is when I'm not giving
financial advice or I'm not on YouTube,
I'm not here - I'm actually running my
small business with my husband - Nora-G's Decor & Events.
and the third thing you should know about me is I am a big
dreamer! Joseph was joking!
Like sometimes I feel like I'm
dilusional! If you know my dreams oh my God
My sisters can attest to that. I dream a lot
That is probably my superpower - Dreamer
All righty all right, so that is the
three things you should know about me okay.
Question number 11 - Where do you see
yourself and your YouTube channel in five years?
Hmmm good question!
Oh okay all right...I'm laughing because
if I tell you all where I see myself and
my channel in the next five years you all would call me
delusional! Even me, I think I'm delusional sometimes
Yes but hey dreams don't cost a thing okay
let me dream, dreams cost nothing, execution is key.
I know that doesn't answer the question.
I don't want my village people to come
and find me here okay.
Just know that I see myself and my
YouTube channel going above and beyond in the next
Five years thriving beyond my wildest imaginations.
Question number 12 - What inspired you to start making
videos or start a YouTube channel. This is
something I have been procrastinating
like since seven years ago - I'm
not even joking guys
like it took me this long because I
thought I wasn't ready
even now I don't still feel ready but I
have to do this because time waits for
nobody. For me everything happens for a reason
So starting now is no mistake.
I actually enjoy video making, I love the
art of filmmaking, um even though this is not a film but
it's somehow my film capturing my passions, my little world
the way I see it and the way I want you
to see it because of course I'm not
showing everything to you guys -  it's not a vlog
This is not a daily vlog. What inspired
me would just be the fact that
I normally love to make videos and I have made
numerous videos on my phone for years
now that have never gone public. Some I
have published to my friends, people around me have seen some but I just
never put them out there
and I thought to myself like Nora why
not put this out there? This is what you love doing
why not couple this with your passions
and put it up on some kind of medium?
And YouTube was my go to you and
Facebook as well.
So here we are. Question number 13 -
Who are some of your favorite YouTubers?
I have an extensive list but top on my
list be Precious Core
Oh my goodness! This girl, she's more than a sister to me
Precious Core, Dr V's Space,  AnneMarie Dube, Cathrin Manning, who used to be the
Content Bug, Kelly Stamps, Fitness Blender, that is
Daniel and Kelly, uh Sydney Cummings, Chloe Ting to name a few.
Like I said the list is expensive so
I could go on and on. If I didn't mention
your name on here trust me
I have a whole list of both Cameroonian
YouTubers and foreign YouTubers that I
admire and love so much.
Question number 14 - What do you think is
the hardest thing about becoming a YouTuber?
The hardest thing about becoming a
YouTuber is there's
so much to learn guys like I'm still
learning. It is overwhelming
if you do not enjoy this, this may be
very tasking on you
but if you enjoy it, it becomes a little bit lighter for you
because you're actually doing something
that you love. For me personally,
the hardest thing is actually sitting
behind this camera right now
like I am doing and talking to you guys because it
looks like it is easy but trust me it is not
Having to talk to my phone and act like
you guys are right behind
the phone watching me when there's
nobody behind me...I feel very stupid
right now...talking by myself
Yeah that is one of the most awkward parts of this so
doing this right now. Anyways it is fun
as well. Another hardest thing about
becoming a YouTuber -
putting in so much work on your videos
making a video and you're not
getting that much traction on that video
like you expected it to perform.
You put in so much work into that and
to get people to watch it is not easy.
That for me would be the hardest part in
becoming a youtuber.
Getting that audience to watch your
video to the end -
so please watch this video to the end,
Thank you! Question number 15 - What do you think
the most rewarding thing would be about becoming a YouTuber?
The most rewarding thing for me would be to have
a strong community of people
that actually enjoy my content, that
would be the most rewarding because
you don't want to be making content for
nobody okay, so uh having a strong following, a strong
community that I can grow with, that I
can actually walk
this journey with that would be my reward
okay. I'm doing all this for you guys,
without you guys this is
nothing - zero, besides of course the
monetary part of it
but as at now, my reward would be
just growing a strong community of
Nora G's Nookers. That to me would mean the world. I'm
putting so much work
into my videos um making, editing, content
thinking concept, everything and having an audience
that is actually excited to watch your videos
is the most rewarding thing any YouTuber
or any content creator can ask for
Another rewarding thing for me would be
having my videos gain some amount of
traction - That would just
put me over the moon okay but as of right now
I really love the following that I
currently have. I love the community that
I am building and that I already have. They're so
supportive and I couldn't ask for
anything else
Question number 16 - Do you watch your
favorite programs regularly on YouTube?
I love NdaniTV, yes I do watch
a couple of series on there so yes I do
watch my favorite programs on YouTube,
from fitness to cooking shows right on
to movies. I watch a lot of videos on YouTube
Question number 17 - what is the best thing about YouTube?
The best thing about YouTube - guys have
you seen this thing?
this is an enormous search engine, so you
can search anything
I mean anything, anything
you will find an answer to it on YouTube!
As in go right now, I mean after this video
search "how to make koki with pizza"
you will see it -  yes try me...
Don't quote me on that! What is the worst
thing about YouTube?
uh the worst thing about youtube, I
really don't have a lot, I'll just say it
just may be overwhelming
you may find um in trying to find
answers to a certain question
you may more than likely find a lot of
controversies and uh too many answers or controversial
answers to maybe what you're looking for
and then you may end up not actually
getting the answer that you're looking for so you have to
really really narrow down and watch
through quite a lot of videos to be able
to come up with your own answer or your own conclusion
that I wouldn't really call it a worse
thing - it just may be overwhelming
that's just it. So I don't really know what else to say
would be the worst thing about youtube
as of now. I'm still studying it.
Question number 19 - Which software do you use
for video editing? For video editing I
have everything in the description box, I
always put that in all of my videos
I use iMovie, KineMaster, LumaFusion, InShot
Those are the four major apps that I use
for editing and most times I don't use just one
I use either two out of the four or three out of four
I always do a combination of uh two or
more of the four I just listed
Question number 20 - Which camera do you use to record your videos?
I am currently using my iPhone 11 Pro Max
to record all of my videos so I do
everything on my phone
from recording to editing to uploading -
everything! Number 21 - What are your goals
when it comes to YouTube? Why do I have a feeling this
question is repeating itself?
Goals for my YouTube channel are better
left in the bag. I have my goals divided into
three - I have my short-term goals and my
intermediary goals and have my long-term
goals about this channel. My
immediate goals for this channel like I
said earlier is to build a strong community of
followers um and just basically have fun.
To stay consistent is my immediate goal
for this channel because trust me I know that is
not as easy as it sounds
I know I'm only uploading once per week
but trust me in trying to want to bring the best to
you all it can be very tasking
so consistency and quality
are my goals for my YouTube channel at the moment
and of course growing my subscriber
count and my views.
So we're working on that, I will keep
working on that
Down the line we'll see how that goes
and we will talk about the intermediary
goals and long-term goals,
how about that? Question number 22 -
Have you ever met anyone from YouTube in
real life?
Oh yes I have met a YouTube
in real life - myself! Okay
okay okay all right all right Nora, joking
but yes I have met a YouTube in real
life and that is Dr V's Space.
Yes that is Dr  V's Space, we worked
out together some time ago
this girl is amazing guys you should
check out Dr V's
Space on YouTube. I love her. That will be
the only YouTuber I have met in person
but there are other YouTubers that I'm
so looking forward to meeting in person
Top on my list you already know Precious Core
She already knows like how much I am
looking forward to meeting her
so yes I have met a YouTuber and I'm
looking forward to meeting many more
By God's grace. Question number 23 - how often will you
upload videos for your viewers?
Once per week every Wednesdays 11 a.m
Eastern time, 4 p.m Central African time. Maybe down
the line I am looking at going twice per week.
In December I actually plan on doing that by God's grace
fingers crossed. It would be on Wednesdays and on
Sundays, still 11 p.m Eastern Time okay, oh 11 a.m
11 a.m Eastern time. I wish I could do more
but trust me I am all for quality over quantity
So we will stick with once per week, Wednesdays
11 a.m Eastern time rendezvous, see you there! Question number 24 -
Do your friends and family support you in making videos?
oh yes my family has been very very supportive
and some of my friends. My family and
some of my friends have been
super supportive, I wouldn't ask for anything more
Besides my friends and
family I've had support from people that
I never ever imagined, I've had support from
people that I barely know, some I do not even know
and the support has been tremendous!
They've been supporting me "bigly" and
for that I am very very very very very grateful!
Like I do not take that for granted
not even one bit. Tank you so much for
your support.
Final question - Question number 25 -
any advice for new YouTubers, do you have
any tips or advice
for others who are just starting or
looking to start a YouTube channel?
I wouldn't consider myself a seasoned
YouTuber yet, I'm still a new YouTuber
but yes I can give a little bit, tiny winy
advice for anyone looking to start a YouTube channel
Love what you do, be passionate about
what you want to talk about
or what you want to showcase to the
world because that would be your driving
force, that would be your push factor because
if you do not have a push factor, trust
me sometimes sitting on this end
behind the camera can be so so
tasking but if you enjoy what you do
if you love what you do,
it becomes so easy for you. Make sure
that whatever you want to put out there, it's
something that you love and something
that you know you can keep doing for the
rest of your life
we're all learning okay. And that sums it
up for today's video
I know of course that  wouldn't cover extensively
all that I am about but I hope that
actually gave you an idea
of who Nora G. is and what Nora G's Nook is about
If you have any questions for me besides
these 25 questions that I got from the
internet, please drop that in comment section and
I'll be sure to reply you. I reply
every comment, I mean every comment trust me
I do and I don't plan on relenting on
that because I cherish you all very much.
