What it means for a Dubai business

A good comment on a popular post in your field can be read by more people than your own post. It works when it adds something: an example, a number with its source, a respectful disagreement.

Example

A brokerage owner sees a post by a relocation consultant about families moving from Europe. She adds a comment on the three questions those families always ask about schools near Arabian Ranches. Two of the consultant’s readers send her a connection request.

Common mistake

“Great post!” and “Agreed!” comments. They tell readers nothing about you. Write a comment that would be worth reading on its own.
