Wondering how to correctly utilize and implement Clubhouse in your daily professional life? Or maybe, you have no idea what Clubhouse even is. Let’s unpack the social networking app that has recently taken the world by storm and that our very own Kate is obsessed with! 

What is Clubhouse? 

Let’s break down the app store’s hottest new social platform.

• Clubhouse is essentially a multitude of panels, and chat rooms. Influencers, entrepreneurs, and large companies alike have joined Clubhouse to promote their product – while simultaneously learning from others in their desired industry.
• The app houses tons of private, moderate sessions. Once a member, you’re free to jump from panel to panel and listen in! The panels range from an array of TED-TALK like discussions – led by a moderator. 
• Clubhouse is somewhat exclusive. Although the app is public on the app store, it is still in the process of being tested. This means that many people still reside on a waitlist until they acquire an access code.

Who uses Clubhouse? 

Let’s talk about who’s really involved. 

• Everyday individuals use the exclusive app…but so do some of your favorite celebrities!
• People like Oprah Winfrey, Drake, and Ashton Kutcher can be found popping into chat rooms and panels often. 
• But most importantly, it’s people just like you! Individuals eager to share their stories can be found doing so in chat rooms curated by themselves, and others.

Great, How do I start? 

Sooo…You’re hooked! Time to acquire an access code from a current user of Clubhouse.

• This may not be an easy pursuit. Currently, Clubhouse is still in the process of building the app. Therefore, you will need a code from someone already on the platform. 
• Do some research on current users around you. Someone in your circle may have an access code waiting for you!
• Set up your profile, and follow accounts that interest you
• Once you are invited into the app, Clubhouse will ask you to follow people that you are interested in digesting content from!
• Seek out chat rooms that sound intriguing
• Begin to browse the multiple chat rooms that the app has to offer. Maybe even start one of your own!
• Mostly importantly, participate! Raise your hand, go up to stage (that’s what they call it on the app) and ask questions – this is the best way to build relationships and network on the app. 

 

Clubhouse is a platform waiting for you, and your voice. As one of the most popular apps in the world, you can bet that some of your favorites have already joined! Run..don’t walk to the app store and while you’re at it, give Kate a follow at @Philly_PR_Girl!
