Set Up Your Clubhouse Profile

Now that you have a handle on how the platform works, it’s time to learn how to create a compelling profile on Clubhouse.

Upload a Profile Picture

Your profile picture might be the most important part of your Clubhouse profile.

That’s because your profile picture (and first name) is what people see when someone shares a room with you.

The most important thing to keep in mind with your Clubhouse headshot is that you want your headshot to be fairly “zoomed in”.

That’s because the profile pics on Clubhouse tend to be pretty small. So if your headshot shows you at a distance, it’s going to be really tough for other users to see your face.

Fill Out Your Bio

Now that your profile pic is uploaded, it’s time to fill out your bio.

Unlike IG or Twitter, Clubhouse bios can be SUPER long. And I recommend taking advantage of all that space.

Question is:

What do you actually write in your Clubhouse bio?

The key here is to list out your achievements and current projects in bite-sized little chunks. In other words: don’t write paragraphs about what you’ve done. Instead, list everything out in bullet form.

Here’s my bio as an example:

Most people on Clubhouse use emojis to break up their bio into little chunks. Which I think works well.

So if you’re into emojis, that’s something to consider.

Pro Tip: Start strong with your bio. Clubhouse only shows a snippet of your bio when you appear as a suggestion. Or when someone clicks on your profile pic from a room.

This is why you want to start your bio off with something SUPER strong. It can be a company you founded. The TED talk you gave last year. Or the fact that you’re a best-selling author.

You can also just list out what you’re currently up to. Either way, just be sure not to waste that early part of your profile.

Connect With Twitter and Instagram

Right now Clubhouse doesn’t allow links in profiles. Which means you can’t link to your site (yet).

But you CAN connect Clubhouse to your Twitter and Instagram accounts. Right now there’s no functionality with this feature. It just adds links to your other social accounts.

But I still recommend connecting your Instagram and Twitter to Clubhouse. That way, people can click over to those accounts. Learn more about you. And visit your website.

Include Keywords

Clubhouse recommends your profile to other users largely based on the keywords that appear in your bio.

So you want to strategically include keywords that your target audience would use to find you.

In my case, my bio automatically included a number of keywords that describe what I do (like “SEO”).

But I also added a little “interests” section to the bottom of my bio.

That way, Clubhouse will recommend me to people that are interested in those topics.
