Clubhouse app

Clubhouse is a fully audio-based social media platform. It provides users with the opportunity to discuss various topics with other users around the world. Usually, a user creates a room and decides the topic to discuss in that room. You can browse the different rooms and join one that’s discussing your subject of interest.

But, before you join any room, you must be a Clubhouse community member, and, currently, the app is an invitation-only platform. So, how do you nominate someone to a Clubhouse? Let’s find out.

How to join Clubhouse

There’re two ways to join Clubhouse. First, you must find a user and ask them to nominate or invite you. Second, download the app and join a waiting list. After you’ve been admitted, you can proceed to invite more than one person to Clubhouse.
