Why is Clubhouse getting popular also in the IT tech ecosystem

Top Qualities to Look at Before Choosing an IT Recruitment Agency

Founded in March 202, Clubhouse sprang up like a sphinx within a year once its beta was tested. Valued at $4 billion, it is the latest social media sensation. This app’s exploding popularity is attributed to several things, but when Elon Musk tweets, the impact is like a thunderbolt across the market. His tweet of Jan 2021, referring to Clubhouse, boosted the app instantly among the ranks of the most downloaded apps.

Innovative Tech Ecosystem to the Core

A significant factor in the huge popularity of this invite-only membership app is its robust innovation that works like magic. Brukiewicz, a Polish physician began spending hours on this audio app faced with a linguistic barrier imagined an innovative add-on feature to this app. Why not type your thoughts? In consequence, “Ask Clubhouse” a simple communication tool to manage a huge audience, emerged. Brukiewicz accomplished this tool over the weekend’s labour. Clubhouse’s exploding membership of over 10 million has gone hand in hand with the addition of several innovative tech features. Here are some more tools:

Clubpad

Members can access a free soundboard complete with the timer, trombone and drumroll in Clubhouse rooms.

Host Notes

Moderators can access space to display discussion summaries, links and meeting agendas.

Clubhouse Recorder

Members can record audio in their room using this telegram bot.

Apps that Shorten Links: Clubhype, Shorten.club, and ClubLink 

Shorten.club, Clubhype, and ClubLink are designed to shorten links to clubhouse rooms. The short links can be easily shared on social media.

There are several more tools, including about four, to make your Clubhouse avatar more colourful.

The inherent money-making potential of the Clubhouse has not gone unnoticed. Several enterprising people have joined the Clubhouse bandwagon to capitalize from the platform. This is the kind of symbiosis that is evident frequently in platforms beyond a threshold level of maturation. For instance, creative problem-solvers have found innovative ways to fill in the missing gaps not available in Clubhouse. Some among them have taken their innovations a notch higher by building their businesses. 

Here are the two to take note of.

YoYo Club

Currently free to use, this app was popularized as the “Eventbrite for Clubhouse”. This app cuts the clutter around noisy notifications to let moderator neatly plan and showcase Clubhouse rooms. Swain, along with his business associate, developed this app in only a few weeks. You don’t get notifications you don’t want to see using this app. Moderators, as of now, use it for an audience that sees upcoming events.

YoYo Club is currently free to use with immense monetization potential in the future. There are influencers in the room with millions of followers. They will need increasingly more rooms. They might need premium features to optimize their business growth. Yet Swain is aware of the risk with his innovation. There’s a big ‘if’. The answer to this ‘if’ is not known. What if Clubhouse builds it natively? Reddit’s native image uploading feature and Twitter’s hashtag are only some examples. They have taken others’ ideas to make them their own.

Direcon

With a suite of tools, they are now already monetizing with $50 monthly membership fee. Launched by a group of 5 innovators, it was originally a tool for now saturated Instagram market. The reinvented app was recently added to Clubhouse. The tool helps you make a sense of your campaign performance.

There’s was no way someone could evaluate campaign performance on Clubhouse. Direcon makers took the initiative to make Direcon with the power to offer insights through analytics. The number of listeners a room has, number of raised hands, average stickiness, and average listening time is some valuable information to an influencer.

Nevertheless, it is too early to predict the fate of Clubhouse innovators and entrepreneurs with a Clubhouse reticent on its future plan.
