LinkYa is a networking platform for professionals focussed on the Australian and New Zealand market. LinkYa allows you to search for employees, employers, or professional connections in general.
The site is similar in some aspects to LinkedIn though it allows the registered member to view the whole network and start networking with all members alike. LinkYa provides a secure environment for professionals to upload their own profile and start developing their networks. Through LinkYa business people gain new contacts and grow their business more quickly.
LinkYa’s aim is to empower human networks in the Australian and New Zealand business community being employees, freelancers and those who run small businesses; the idea is that you can use LinkYa to connect and then collaborate with other members to share ideas and partner up on projects. Although the site doesn’t directly list employment opportunities or business opportunities, LinkYa members can find these within the member profiles. In addition to using LinkYa to find new business contacts and explore market opportunities, you can also join the site’s forums and groups.
Though LinkYa is based in Australia and New Zealand, members are joining from all over the world. Anyone can join LinkYa for free and explore this new social networking platform for professionals.

Why LinkYa.com.au It Might Be A Killer
LinkYa is unique in that it focuses on helping freelancers, self-employed and small businesses to market their capabilities and make new business connections, yet doesn’t focus only on direct service buying and selling (like competitor BizReef). LinkYa is also a killer as it focusses on a regional market niche so far completely overlooked by its American competitors.
Some Questions About LinkYa.com.au
If LinkYa plans to expand to rival huge professional networking sites like LinkedIn, it seriously needs to step up its internet presence; how does the site anticipate reaching the global community from such an isolated geographical location? To whom will they target their services outside of the immediate Australian subcontinent?
