The Ministry of Culture emphasised that Russia's systematic crimes against journalists and the media represent a severe threat to freedom of speech and information security, undermining democratic values and human rights.

10 Smart Ways to Make Money on Clubhouse Without Being Famous
Since its launch, Clubhouse has evolved from an invite-only audio chat app into a thriving community of creators, entrepreneurs, and influencers. While it may not seem monetization-friendly at first glance, Clubhouse offers a surprising number of opportunities to make money—especially if you're strategic and consistent. In this post, we explore 10 real ways you can monetize your presence and skills on Clubhouse—whether you're a speaker, networker, or community builder. Clubhouse now allows ticketed rooms for creators with strong followings. You can charge an entry fee for valuable sessions such as workshops, masterclasses, or exclusive Q&As. To attract paying listeners, focus on high-demand topics like business, marketing, tech, or personal development. 💡 Tip: Promote your events across social platforms and offer early bird discounts to boost attendance. If you're an expert in any niche—finance, fitness, branding, etc.—use Clubhouse to establish your authority. Run free value-packed sessions and pitch your paid 1:1 coaching or consulting services toward the end. Many creators generate leads and close high-ticket clients this way. Whether you sell online courses, eBooks, merch, or subscriptions, you can use your Clubhouse audience to funnel traffic to external platforms. Make sure to update your bio with links to your sales pages, and casually mention your offerings during conversations. Clubhouse's Creator First Accelerator supports promising content creators by offering financial backing, equipment, and promotional support. If selected, this can become a consistent source of income and growth for your Clubhouse channel. Just like with podcasts or YouTube, brands are starting to notice popular Clubhouse creators. If you run large or niche-targeted rooms, you can partner with companies for sponsorships. You might read out a message, promote a tool, or co-host a branded session. Use Clubhouse to build a following, then direct listeners to a paid community on Patreon, Discord, or a membership site. Clubhouse acts as the lead generation platform, while your premium content and networking opportunities live behind a paywall. Mention and promote tools, apps, or services that offer affiliate programs during your talks. If a listener uses your referral link to sign up or purchase, you earn a commission. Just ensure the recommendation is relevant and authentic. Example: Promote podcast hosting platforms, design tools, or software during discussions on content creation. Once you're recognized as a Clubhouse speaker, you may get invited to speak at external virtual or in-person events. These gigs often come with a speaker fee. Build your reputation by consistently delivering value in Clubhouse rooms. Clubhouse now supports direct tipping features in some regions. Listeners can send money to show appreciation. You can also use third-party platforms like Buy Me a Coffee, PayPal, or Cash App—just include the link in your bio. Collaborate with other creators to co-host rooms, cross-promote content, or launch products together. These strategic partnerships can lead to joint ventures, affiliate splits, and new audiences, expanding your earning potential. Clubhouse app isn't just a place to talk—it's a space to build influence, offer value, and turn conversations into cash. Whether you're an expert, a networker, or just someone with a unique voice, there's room to grow your personal brand and earn along the way. Find your niche, deliver value consistently, and be intentional about how you engage. Monetization won't happen overnight, but with the right strategies, Clubhouse can become a lucrative channel in your creator toolkit. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
