Hey Android users, Clubhouse opened the beta app for us today! Like you, I’ve been waiting for Clubhouse to introduce the beta app since the beginning to use for Nadi Marketing. I’m excited to join the platform, learn how to use it for my business, and share all my learnings with you all. If you don’t know what Clubhouse is, it’s a drop-in audio social media platform. Please see my Android Users Clubhouse Guide below and I will continue to add on to this as I learn more!
Clubhouse Dictionary
- Hallway – is your main feed. When you open your Clubhouse app, this is the first place you will land.
- Rooms – are audio chat rooms
- Clubs – Clubhouse lingo for groups
- Stage – is the space for moderators and speakers. When you enter a room, you’ll see the Stage section at the top.
- Party Hats – When you first join Clubhouse, you’ll see a party hat emoji next to your picture and you’ll have that on for 7 days, it’s basically a new member badge.
- Pull To Refresh (PTR) – Some moderators will take questions or comments in order. If you are on stage, you can PTR to see the most updated list.
- Hot Mic – This is when someone accidentally unmutes and disrupts, people will say “hot mic.” This is common when someone is welcomed to the stage as it automatically unmutes you. Pro-tip is to mute yourself right when you join the stage.
- Popcorn Style – In a room popcorn style means you can talk at any time when there is a pause. You would just unmute and introduce yourself.

How To Get Started On Clubhouse
Fill out your bio
Before you start connecting with people on Clubhouse, make sure to fill out your bio. The first 80 characters are the most important as it’s shown when someone clicks on your photo. Emojis also count for 2 characters so keep that in mind. Your bio should be keyword-driven to what your ideal client would search for and remember to provide users a place to connect with you, either add your Instagram, Twitter, Voxer, WhatsApp, etc. username in your bio.
Create a short introduction
When you are invited to speak, make sure you have your introduction down. Take a few minutes right now and create a short introduction for you and your business. You may want to create a short intro and long into, here are my examples that I used today.
Short Bio: My name is Erika Rodriguez and I’m an Eco Marketing Coach.
Long Bio: My name is Erika Rodriguez and I help ecopreneurs and sustainable business owners with content strategy, partnership marketing, and SEO.
Speak in a room
After you fill out your bio, have your intro down, join rooms to meet with people, and engage! When you do speak in a room, I would write down the points you want to make before speaking. That one-minute outline will help you sound concise and here’s a quick outline that I found helpful.
- Say your name at the beginning with your intro
- Give your input and expertise
- Close/end in a respectful manner “This is [name] and I’m done speaking” or “This is [name] and back to you [host].
