Clubhouse For Interior Designers
/
Have you heard about Clubhouse? If not, I’m honestly shocked! It has really taken off since its debut in 2020.
This invite-only platform is an auditory-only app that is for iphone users only. You can hardly scroll social media these days without hearing about it.
I believe it’s a bit easier to find invites now but when it first came out, you really had to hunt. Rumor says that Clubhouse will be creating a version for Android phones and potentially won’t require an invite but we’ll have to check in on that in a few months and come back with an update.
You can find live conversations on Clubhouse from topics ranging from Health and Fitness to Interior design and anything you can think of in between. Some of the most popular conversations I’ve found are about business, manifestation, and basically any talk given by a celebrity!
If you have no idea what Clubhouse is, don’t stress. We’ll give you a brief breakdown here:
-Think of Clubhouse as a live podcast system. Nothing is recorded but presenters show up audio only and discuss their topic in front of a listen-only audience.
-Presenters (called Moderators) can invite audience members onto the virtual stage, giving them the opportunity to share their own experiences or ask the moderators any questions they might have.
So how can you utilize Clubhouse as an interior designer?
Collaboration is key: Similar to a podcast, Clubhouse is a great place to grab a few fellow designers or tradesmen and do a podcast about a specific design subject. So put out your feelers and find someone who wants to join in an online convo with you! The more moderators you have, the better the potential turnout.
Create a great profile: Put time into this! You have quite a bit of space to tell about your story. Who do you serve? What kind of projects do you like to work on? What subjects around interior designer do you love to talk and teach people about?
Add a great picture to your profile: Pretty self-explanatory, right? Always pick a professional photo that shows your personality!
Engage in the app! Join other rooms and participate as much as you can. Share your story in other rooms that are not related to interior design. Share valuable and helpful information whenever you can. I’ve joined rooms before and have had people follow me just for being inside of the room. If you get on stage and talk, everyone will be able to easily access your profile.
Start your own room: Just use the “create a room” button and then click “add a topic”. Pick something broad so that you can host chats based on many topics.
Play around with the app and discover all it has to offer! This is the best way to get to know how to use it and all the knowledge you can share through it.
Have a fantastic day!
