Accelerate Channel Growth
YouTube chapters let you add timestamps to your video, making it easier for your viewers to find the parts they wanna see. This isn’t new by any means, but it’s important.
Using chapters is like a fast-forward button for your content, and it seriously upgrades your viewer’s experience.
With chapters, your views don’t have to sit through your entire video just to find that one golden nugget of information they’re after.
The Perks of YouTube Chapters
There are a heap of reasons why you should be using YouTube chapters, but let’s just hit the big four:
- Improved Navigation: YouTube chapters let your viewers skip straight to the good stuff. No more wasting time on stuff they already know.
- Enhanced User Experience: With a breakdown of the content right there in the video description, viewers can see exactly what they’re getting. No more whack surprises.
- Increased Engagement: When viewers can find what they’re looking for, they’re more likely to share your content. That’s more eyes on your work, and more potential for growth.
- SEO Benefits: By giving Google and YouTube more info about your video, you’re increasing your chances of showing up in search results. Duh!
