If you haven’t heard, there’s a new social media platform on the rise and it is invite-only and audio-only! In a digital world so heavily focused on visual, how does this platform make the cut in the market? We break down everything we know so far about this new platform.
Firstly, What is Clubhouse?
Clubhouse explains that it “was designed to be a space for authentic conversation and expression — where people can have fun, learn, make meaningful connections and share rich experiences with others around the world”. The invite-only social media platform is for celebrities, influencers, and the average person who is lucky enough to get an invite.
How does it work?
As this an audio-only platform it has been compared to a podcast, except Clubhouse works is in real-time. You enter each room as an audience member, but if you want to talk you raise your virtual hand, and the speakers can choose to invite you up. If you like, you can create a room of your own and be the host. It’s a place to meet with friends, and new people around the world—to tell stories, ask questions, debate, learn, and have impromptu conversations on thousands of different topics.
Who is using the platform?
Major celebs like Drake, Ashton Kutcher, Oprah and many others have enjoyed the exclusiveness of the app before it is opened to the public. Business owners and entrepreneurs are also using the app to host educational talks and share their inspiring stories. If you are invited to the platform, you will receive some additional invites to share with whoever you like!
How do you get an invite?
Clubhouse does eventually aim to be open to the public as they have stated “we think it’s important to grow communities slowly, rather than 10x-ing the user base overnight”. So, if you have a friend, or a friend of a friend that has been invited, then that is your chance to get an invite!
The exclusivity of the platform is what has appealed to many as they are craving an invite to see what it’s all about! We are excited to watch what Clubhouse has to offer for 2021!
