Creating and managing a club effectively helps you grow your community, engage with members, and provide value. Follow this guide to optimize your club experience on Locals!
1. Setting Up Your Club for Success First you should add the proper description of your club: what problems does it solve? What Members of the Club can get out of it? Highlight unique perks and special offers to attract new members - show the value!
2. Invite Co-Creators to Help Manage the Club. For that ensure the person has joined the club. Then you should find this person in the Members List > Tap three dots next to their name > Select Invite as Co-Creator. You can also add Admins to your club: people with the same permissions as creators, who help with the club management, but shouldn’t be shown in the creators list to represent the club/event.
3. Upload Engaging Content! People like to see photos and videos of events, which show the atmosphere and mood of the community: the place where it happens, members' emotions, unique experience that you offer. You can also add screenshots with feedback of your Members! Having a video on a cover page is a great experience as well as it shows the atmosphere of your club right away! Don’t forget to update your club regularly with valuable content to keep members engaged.
4. Create offline and online events on the club level so that all the club members are notified automatically. Use event descriptions to outline the value and encourage attendance.
Create private events on the club level for the club members only.
Use this guide to create events.
5. Build trust and trigger FOMO: post content to chats regularly, encourage members to react and engage in discussions, ask your Members for feedback and share member testimonials.
6. Collaborate with other Creators to host joint events and grow your audience!
7. Tell your audience about your club on your social media! Share your club link on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other platforms. Motivate people to join your club: tell them about value, perks and special offers! Locals logic works the same as in TikTok or Instagram: the more people view and put likes - the more the system promotes it to other people. Same on Locals: once your members start joining your club, the system will start promotion right away!
8. Arrange a challenge with mentioning your club/events in social media of your Members to grow your community. Offer exclusive perks or discounts as incentives for participation!
9. Create Paid Tiers to Offer Exclusive Benefits: provide premium content, VIP events, or special perks for paid members. Set a compelling reason for people to upgrade to a paid membership. You can offer a discount for the club events, partner programs participation, gifts, special events for the club members etc. Be creative!
Each tier can have different payment pricing plans: monthly, quarterly, bi-annually and annually.

10. Manage your Event Participants:
You can download your members list for further analysis. For that, you should open your club > scroll to members > tap on the arrow > download your member list to your devise.
There you can find the following information:

11. Use chat to communicate with Members and inform them about updates. Poll option can be used to vote for an idea or collect feedback (collect rating of the event, let’s say from 1 to 5). Share audio/video messages, videos, photos, and files. Members can react to messages to create a lively conversation. Pin important messages for quick access. Anyone can access the media gallery to review shared content.
12. Collect Feedback Easily
- Share a Google Form link in chat for open-ended feedback or use the chat itself.
- Use polls or message reactions to get instant insights from members: ask your clients what type of event should be next or ask them to put a reaction if they’d like to have a 1-1 session with you.

13. Boost Visibility with Likes & Engagement.
The more people join the club and events and put likes, the more it helps the system promote your club. Similar to Instagram Reels or TikTok videos logic. Higher engagement leads to better reach!
14. If you sell merch or any products, feel free to add items to the club shop:
Managing Club Paid Tiers
