The audio social media platform Clubhouse will soon allow its users to share outside links and monetize their work on the platform.
According to ANI, Clubhouse CEO Paul Davidson and global head of marketing Maya Watson recently announced a new pinned links feature, which allows moderators to place outside links at the top of a room.
These links would direct listeners to whatever moderators want, including a news article, or a podcast.
Certain links would not be allowed for security and moderation reasons, ANI reported from Washington.
Paul Davidson did not name the types of links that would not be allowed, but he reportedly suggested links to ‘OnlyFans’ would fall in that category as links to porn or explicit content are banned.
Anyone would be allowed to add, change, or remove a link, so long as they are a moderator of a room and regardless of the number of followers they have.
The clubhouse will not charge or take a cut of revenue from any transactions that occur through the link, although Paul Davidson said the team “would likely share news in the upcoming months about ways in which the app itself will monetize, like through ticketed rooms and subscriptions.”
The feature will roll out on October 27 for both iOS and Android devices.
