The Clubhouse app is a mix of good tech radio and conference broadcasts, allowing you to set up or attend online chats of celebrities you know, your friends, or anyone in between.

Clubhouse appeared less than a year ago, and immediately grabbed attention in Silicon Valley, and has grown rapidly since then, expanding its user base, including everyone from French speakers to black activists.

But there is a certain type of Clubhouse user in abundance at the present time, which is the speculative user;

He's the one who wants to be in a clubhouse because he's hoping it'll be a big deal in the future, and he wants to get in before that happens.

Laurel Toby, who succeeded in the first internet boom by building MediaBistro, a jobs and events company, says it eventually sold out;

What you see happening in the Clubhouse now will turn into something else in the future. “You're looking at the clay that's being shaped now”.

Toby says she tried Clubhouse last year when other investors were first intrigued by the service. She was not surprised by this fascination, but eventually noticed enough hints that it might be a social network with future power.

Therefore, she says, she decided to "search for opportunities" by investing time hosting Clubhouse rooms.

And Toby adds, "I admit, I was not proactive enough to enter Twitter, nor was I early enough to enter TikTok or other platforms, but this is an early entry opportunity here."

Like other social networks, Clubhouse is not just a simple social app as it appears now;

The larger it is, the more things it can or will become in the future, and the company recently announced that it now has 10 million weekly users.

Providing opportunities

But it is amazing now to hear and see how many Clubhouse users spend their time on the program talking about it: What will the Clubhouse be?

How will people become powerful users of the Clubhouse?

What company or current industry will the Clubhouse blow up?

It's the kind of discussion you were not likely to see on other social networks;

That's because people who joined networks like YouTube or Twitter or Facebook early on likely didn't think about how to turn their presence on the platform into influence, money, or a career.

Obviously, this is part of the Clubhouse appeal, as you can become famous just because you show up, you can come up with a very clear idea of ​​what you think you can do on a new social system.

Clubhouse provides ample opportunities for app users to speak to CEO Paul Davson, who gives a weekly live presentation to new users, guiding them through the Clubhouse features and etiquette on the platform.

Davidson also hosts another weekly face-to-face meeting for all Clubhouse users, where he provides them with future plans about the product, and allows them to voice their opinions (which includes some very real concerns about privacy).

Young or old?

Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube applications started in a closed manner, without making any efforts to help users develop their presence, and they certainly did not chart a way for early users to make money on their platforms, but when Davison revealed $ 100 million in funding to Club House last January, In his presentation, he explained the ways in which users could make money in the future, perhaps selling tickets or subscriptions to the rooms they host, for example, and he announced that some of the money the company had just raised would go to the Creators Grant Program, to be distributed to some users. The privileged who host popular rooms.

The Creators Scholarship Program has not yet started, but it will be interesting to see the types of people the Clubhouse has officially supported with its money.

There is one thing you won't find very often at Clubhouse, and they are the young users who flocked early to Instagram, Snapchat and Tik Tok.

This is likely to be the result of the company's growth strategy, which requires new users - at the moment - to get an invitation from existing users, but that may change in the future, or perhaps Clubhouse will remain a social network for seniors who like to talk and listen instead of texting. And swipe up.
