            Money On My Mind: While interest in
        Clubhouse is exploding, the monetization
        question has not yet been answered. Cohen
        points to an upcoming tipping feature
        for performers. Additionally, Midwest/
        Nashville Dir./Social Media Juliana
        Wright, whose background includes
        digital sales and marketing for multi-format
        clusters, foresees multiple revenue sources.         Juliana Wright
        “Once this opens to the public across all
        operating systems, there will be many opportunities to monetize
        the platform,” she says. “Content and connection will be the base
        of that, and from there, marketing can be packaged around
        brand loyalty or woven
        into experiential marketing
        efforts, sponsorships and
        other non-traditional
        revenue streams.” Wright
        notes that younger demos
        are utilizing the platform
        for networking and
        professional development,
        as opposed to the
        entertainment found on
        platforms like Instagram
        and TikTok.
            Follow The Leaders:
        Will Clubhouse –
        something akin to an
        audio-only version of the
        original AOL Chat Rooms
        – stick around? It may be
        too soon to tell. “Many
        of us were excited about
        Tumblr when it started,”
        recalls McVay. “Jimmy
        Fallon tried to connect
        Tumblr to his show! And,
        many of us were ecstatic
        about Periscope, which is         Moderate Views: Radio talent
        now set to go dark March          and industry leaders gather to
        31. But if Clubhouse              discuss Clubhouse’s practical

        users with a remarkable
        experience, it will succeed.”
