1. What is Self Love Social Club?
Self Love Social Club is a Long Island–based women’s community dedicated to creating an empowering environment where women can embrace self-love and build meaningful connections with like-minded individuals. Whether you’re eager to expand your social circle or simply seeking enriching, low-pressure events, this is a space where you can show up exactly as you are—and be welcomed.
As the founders say,
“Whether you’re looking to make new friends or looking for social events to attend—this is the place for you.”
The club hosts monthly events that promote self-care, connection, and empowerment—ranging from pottery nights and yoga brunches to seasonal workshops and creative socials. Each gathering is designed to make life feel a little lighter, especially for women navigating transitions like motherhood or rediscovering themselves in adulthood.
But this isn’t just about fun nights out. At its core, Self Love Social Club is a response to a deeper need. Life’s journey often places women at crossroads—caught between their past and present selves, or feeling out of sync with those around them. That’s why the club was created: to offer a space that celebrates who you’ve been, who you are, and who you’re becoming.
Since launching on Locals just a few months ago, the community has already grown to over 200 members, with events selling out quickly—often in under 24 hours. The growth has been entirely organic, powered by word of mouth and the founders’ belief in building something real and inclusive.
2. How They Use Locals
Self Love Social Club started with a simple goal: to bring women together through small, joyful events that made life feel a little lighter. But early on, managing everything through Venmo and DMs quickly became overwhelming. The founders found it difficult to track who paid, how many guests were coming, or what to expect on the day of the event. She needed a better system—something that felt as organized as the experience she wanted to deliver. That’s when she found Locals — a platform that offered everything in one place, and finally felt as organized as the experience she wanted to deliver
🎟️ Event Management Made Easy
Now, Jessica uses Locals’ integrated event management tools to run the entire club: from setting up events to tracking RSVPs and collecting payments. Every month, the team posts new gatherings on their club page—such as pottery painting, wellness workshops, yoga brunches, and floral design nights. Each event is limited in size (usually 30–40 attendees) to preserve the warm, personal atmosphere the club is known for.
The result? Events often sell out within 24 hours, and every RSVP is tracked seamlessly within Locals.
💸 Monetization: A Simple, Effective Model
The club’s monetization strategy is clear and effective

No paid ads
-
No memberships (for now)
-
100% ticket-based revenue
With an average ticket price of $35, Self Love Social Club has earned $6,000+ in just a few months—all through word of mouth and Instagram. Events are promoted first to existing members within the Locals chat (“Early Dibs”) and only later on their socials, creating a feeling of exclusivity and appreciation for the core community.
This “Early Dibs” strategy not only drives conversions—it also helped ease the transition of members from Instagram into the Locals platform.

All payments processed securely
