Last year, following extensive research and evaluation, I selected ClickUp as the project management tool that my digital agency would use.
ClickUp is an extremely powerful tool, but also requires careful configuration and customisation to get the most out of it.
This post covers the top free video tutorials and help guides that I followed to successfully get ClickUp configured, customised and working well for my agency.
ClickUp Video Tutorials
The below are my top recommended YouTube channels for ClickUp tutorials – to help customise and get the most out of the tool:
1) ClickUp Channel
https://www.youtube.com/c/ClickUpProductivity
ClickUp’s own channel – Includes tutorials on specific functionality, recordings of webinars and shorter tips videos. I found the webinars particularly useful, including some about using ClickUp for certain types of companies such as agencies. These allow you to see best practices and how others are using ClickUp.
2) Layla Pomper Channel
https://www.youtube.com/c/LaylaPomper
This is the channel from Layla At ProcessDriven – It’s got a very large number of videos, with tips on how to setup and use ClickUp. Layla is good at explaining complex topics and making them easy to understand. It’s also got some other useful videos about general business topics such as productivity, standard operating procedures (SOPs) etc.
3) Ask Yvi Channel
https://www.youtube.com/c/AskYvi
The Ask Yvi channel has a good number of videos, particularly around productivity and explaining features of ClickUp that can save you time.
4) Anne Leah Channel
https://www.youtube.com/c/AmbitiousVA
This channel from Anne Leah is good. It includes some great tips for using ClickUp beyond what you may normally do – including how to set it up a simple CRM using ClickUp.
ClickUp Guides
There are also some good written ClickUp guides and documentation on websites. The most useful ones I found were:
1) ClickUp Website
ClickUp themselves have a good amount of quality documentation and guides on their website. This includes:
- Onboarding https://clickup.com/onboarding – Helping you to get started with ClickUp.
- ClickUp University https://university.clickup.com/ – Short courses, including optional quizzes.
- Help https://help.clickup.com/ – General help, including search feature.
2) Zenpilot Website
I found https://www.zenpilot.com/clickup-for-agencies-guide/ a useful guide for best practices on how to setup ClickUp for agencies. It includes tips on how to rollout ClickUp and get your team involved etc.
3) Process Driven
https://processdriven.co/category/clickup/ is a blog by the same Layla Pomper who created the YouTube channel mentioned above. The blog has some great ClickUp articles ranging from the basics through to advanced features.
