&#34;What&#39;s really nice is that you don&#39;t need to be staring into your camera like a Zoom zombie. You can put on some headphones and hop on the Peloton or take your dog for a walk.&#34; The app’s new Creator First program has the potential to be a launchpad for talent on the app, Justin Kline, co-founder of Markerly, an influencer marketing platform, said in an email interview. &#34;During its first year, Clubhouse room topics and hosting privileges have been dominated mainly by celebrities and media personalities using it to connect with everyday users and, of course, drive buzz around their own companies and work,&#34; Kline said.

&#34;Creators and social media influencers are incredibly powerful thought-leaders in their own right. Just look at the success of any number of influencers on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.&#34; It&#39;s going to be a while before Rachel Maddow or Howard Stern have to worry about being dethroned by a Clubhouse show. Despite its burgeoning name recognition, however, Clubhouse could use some pizazz in its content, Kirsner said.

Twitter recently rolled out Spaces, which allows users to initiate an audio stream that followers can join to listen and participate, depending on which settings the hosts apply. And Instagram also has thrown its hat into the ring, in a slightly different way. &#34;Instagram is a notoriously visual-heavy platform, so the audio-only model doesn’t translate as well, but their recent announcement around rolling out &#39;Live Rooms&#39; that allow for more users to go live on video together can be considered a similar offering that fits Instagram’s interface,&#34; he added.

Westend61 / Getty Images There’s also Stationhead, a social audio app that lets users call guests to join the show and integrates with Spotify and Apple Music. Stationhead was happy to throw some shade on its rival Clubhouse. &#34;The issue with the new program is that it assumes people are going to Clubhouse to listen to content, which is not the case,&#34; Ryan Star, CEO of Stationhead, said in an email interview. &#34;Clubhouse&#39;s primary value proposition is that it is a tool for networking and promoting, like a Linkedin live.
