These key moments will be your YouTube chapters. Make a note of the time section so you can distinguish the chapters in your recordings.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h6><strong>USE KEYWORDS AS CHAPTER NAMES<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve decided at what time to add chapter names, make sure you label them with keywords. Do some <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flintzy.com\/blog\/2019\/10\/21\/how-to-find-the-right-keywords-for-your-youtube-channel\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">keyword research<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to see what people are looking for when it comes to your video topic. Shape your chapter titles around those keywords. For example, if your video is about a DIY makeup tutorial, your chapter names could be &#8220;using an eyeliner&#8221;, &#8220;using a blush&#8221;, and so on.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/media3.giphy.com\/media\/Q7pTRNarqKqJMsJuQ3\/200w.gif?cid=82a1493bs8df59eb446tvbjxp96jtlvmvtkbbt1tr88hj53d&amp;rid=200w.gif&amp;ct=g\" alt=\"Seo GIFs - Get the best GIF on GIPHY\" width=\"589\" height=\"521\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h6><strong>BEGIN WITH 00:00<\/strong><\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your timestamps must begin at the start of the video, i.e. 00:00. The first few minutes of a video usually introduce your video matter.
