At its core, Lunchclub is a networking platform that matches you with others based on your experiences, interests, background, and goals. Then, it sets you up with a 45-minute meet and greet with your matches to get to know one another and build connections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Why would you do this, you ask? I&#8217;ve got answers!<\/p>\n<p>According to Linkedin&#8217;s economic graph, <b>It\u2019s Not Who You Know, It\u2019s Who You Know KNOWS <\/b>who mostly help each other to find jobs.<\/p>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s these second \u2014and third-degree relationships PLUS a chance to meaningfully connect with them that may be able to make a deep impact on your career.<\/p>\n<p>And for my introverts reading this, you can do this without leaving your home at the times you desire. It&#8217;s a guaranteed connection without any awkward small talk, forced networking parties, or unhelpful conference panels.<\/p>\n<p>I caution you that before you dive in, you should have a clear sense of what you would like to achieve. I&#8217;ve got a<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberprmusic.com\/cyber-pr-podcast-goal-setting-for-musicians\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> podcast guide<\/a><\/strong><\/span> for that.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>So &#8211; Step one is to define WHAT you want, and step two is to sign up for LunchClub!<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0LunchClub will instantly and effortlessly expand your <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">network<\/span><\/strong>. It\u2019s not just that it can connect you to other musicians (it can) which can be a major advantage when it comes to things like collaboration or tours through cities you&#8217;d like to play, but it can also be a great way to connect with industry players, tech startup founders, like-minded creatives and influencers who can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Give you advice on how to build your career<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Make introductions to others who may be able to help you (that you would not usually have access to)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Offer their help directly, giving you an opening you didn\u2019t even know existed<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And you won&#8217;t have to worry about finding the <em>right<\/em> people to connect with. The platform brings the perfect people right into your life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Collaboration and Brand Partnerships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another plus to getting connected with professionals in different fields, both in and outside the music industry, is that your opportunity for brand partnerships and other (paid!) collaborations has just opened up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because there are people from all industries on the platform, it becomes much easier to get outside the music industry bubble and start brainstorming different ways to use your talents and expertise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Becoming a Connector<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The way LunchClub works is that it finds two people in your network who it thinks would be a good match, and it asks you if you want to introduce them to one another. On the surface, this might not seem like a big deal, but what it does is make you a connector and keep you top of mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you introduce two people who have no idea who the other is, the first thing they usually connect over is the person who introduced them. The more they talk about you, the more they remember you for future opportunities, especially if they feel like you\u2019ve done them a favor by introducing them to someone that can help them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>One On One Connections<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know, I know, you may be thinking you have all the skills you need (or that you simply don&#8217;t have time to learn a new one). But there\u2019s always more to learn, and with LunchClub you\u2019re getting one on one conversations with top leaders in a variety of industries that, if you\u2019re open to it, can be a really eye-opening experience. Just think about the variety of experiences they may have in things like fan-building, algorithms, and engagement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s one of the reasons I always love listening to podcasts that are not based in the music industry, because when you hear ideas and insights that are working for other industries or people in completely different positions, it can be incredibly eye opening and inspiring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Learn More About Your Existing Network\u2014and How to Utilize It<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As I mentioned, the way LunchClub works is every day you log on, and it will ask you if you\u2019d like to make an introduction between two of your connections. The first few times I was doing this, I got to know so many people in my network that I either didn\u2019t know existed, had no idea they did, or was re-introduced to contacts I hadn\u2019t talked to in a while but had always been great collaborators and connections. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, it reminded me of the excellent network I have already built.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While LunchClub may have initially been intended for a more traditional 9-5 worker or entrepreneur, it is already flush with musicians, music industry professionals, and other creatives and is proving to be a great place to build connections and grow your career. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s always has been, it\u2019s all about those <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberprmusic.com\/emotional-connections\/\">relationships<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. That\u2019s where you\u2019ll see the biggest impact on your career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Want more advice as an indie musician?
