The Goal Based Social Network: Linkagoal, Inc.

“Social media is the ultimate equalizer. It gives a voice and a platform to anyone willing to engage.” – Amy Jo Martin

Without knowing where you are going, chances are you might get lost. Having goals and working towards them keeps us focused in life as we continuously thrive and learn along the way. They can help us with being more organized, resourceful, and provide us clarity of what we are trying to achieve. By writing a goal down, you begin to realize it. Goal writing helps when developing a goal plan, and by connecting with others to share goals, it becomes a collaborative take on fulfilling your objectives when you receive new ideas and advice that can make your goals appear more actionable than before.

Based out of Sunnyvale, CA, USA, Linkagoal is a goal-based social network that combines the power of social networking and crowd-sourcing to help people connect, track and better support one another through the entire goal-making process. It works on a simple yet powerful concept of Create, Link and Contribute. The site allows its members to write goals (Create), connect with common goals and aspirations (Link), and help them achieve their goal (Contribute). Linkagoal is based on the belief that the lack of resources, guidance, experience, accountability, and encouragement hinder people from achieving their goals – so why not help them.

On Linkagoal’s social network, goal-setters can create profiles, set actionable goals with interactive timelines to track milestones, and connect with others for motivation, and support in their own personal or collective endeavors.

Executive Thought

• Can you brief us about Linkagoal’s history?
  Linkagoal was born out of the belief that the lack of resources, direction, experience and accountability keeps us from reaching our goals. When we launched our second generation in 2015, our user-base quickly grew with more interactions developing in and around goal setting and goal-achieving on a daily basis. Our soon to be released third and final generation is an advanced and succeeding version of current social networking. The new platform allows users to create balance between life events belonging to past, present and future. Rapid adoption is setting us on course to reach our 2 million users milestone by the end of Q3 this year.

• How is Linkagoal positioned in the recent Market scenario?
  We are the only social network centered on the goal-making experience. Platform allows people to set and achieve their life goals while sharing past/present events via creating posts. Socializing on future events combined with conventional social networking create life balance and improve its quality by staying focus on personal and professional goals. Our community is truly global which gives people an advantage to gain a vast amount of unique insight no matter how big or small their goal is.
