What style of posts do we welcome on the forums?

We are keen to have posts from everyone, from first timers to seasoned investors. When writing a post, think about how interesting it might be to other people reading it. You are more likely to get a good response if you give some information as well as request it. Here are two examples:

Example 1: Bad post

Hi, please post information on investing in the property business in the Uk

Example 2: Better post

Hi, I'm looking to invest about £15k in the UK Property market. I will like to do this in London. I am a foreign national and on a visiting visa in the UK. Are there any conditions that I have to meet and is the UK property market a good market to invest in? Any suggestions about the areas to invest in? 

Also, take time to come up with a good subject line for your post. This is your chance to convince people to click on your post, read it and reply. The more interesting the subject line, the better the response you'll have.
