I have done a search of other sites that are related to LinkedIn and Success. Here are the results of my search and some thoughts about the site.
I was quite surprised at the small number of sites there are that are actually focused on helping people with practical help with LinkedIn. Most of the sites are similar to mine, they deal with a different topic and LinkedIn is just application of the topic.
In my case, I am writing and focusing on teaching people how to be successful. LinkedIn fits in as a tool in a number of different categories.
Here is some ideas of how LinkedIn fits into Napoleon Hill’s Law Of Success.
Master Mind - Being a member of LinkedIn helps you find others for your personal Master Mind.
Goals – LinkedIn provides access to people to help you reach your goals no matter what they are. Its simple, since there must be few goals that don’t involve other people or can’t be moved forward with out the help of people.
A Pleasing Personality – Once you have connected to others on LinkedIn. You need to begin the process of creating a one-to-one relationship with the people. Your personality will come through in your interactions. Think about the difference between somebody that sends you information that you can use to move closer to success, as opposed to the person who tells you all about their business.
Practising The Golden Rule - In LinkedIn this is simple. Each interaction needs to help the other person. That is how you go about creating those deep relationships.
What does this have to do with the review of the sites?
My criteria for selecting the sites was that the site provides you information that is usable. Each of the links below will provide you helpful and useful information. Some of it you may know, and some of it you may not know.
