Why it matters

Chapters let viewers jump to the part they need instead of leaving.

A pinned comment holds your link, a discussion question and any correction.

Step by step

1. Description: first two sentences say what the video solves (with the keyword), then related links, then sources if any.
2. Long videos: add chapters with timestamps starting at 0:00, each with a short, specific name.
3. Pin one comment: an open question viewers can answer + your main link (if any).
4. Sales videos: disclose affiliate / sponsored links as the platform requires.
5. After 48 hours, read comments and update the description if viewers keep asking the same thing.

Common mistakes

• An empty description or just hashtags.
• Generic chapter names ("Part 1").
• Undisclosed affiliate links.
