Cupertino,
CA - February 6, 2007 Small groups of people
have been coming together to lend each other money for many centuries. While people-to-people
lending still flourishes in many parts of the world today, people in the United
States have come to rely largely on banks and credit cards for their lending and
borrowing needs. The Internet has made it possible
for people-to-people lending to re-emerge on a mass scale. Prosper Marketplace,
Inc. opened its doors to the public in 2006 specifically to eliminate the middleman
in these lending and borrowing transactions. But lending has become a lost art.
Lenders need to have adequate knowledge and preparation when entering this new
marketplace. "Happy About People-To-People
Lending With Prosper.com" provides a roadmap for lenders who want
to help out other people by lending them money through the Prosper marketplace.
By using the conservative investment approach outlined in this book, lenders can
better manage the risks associated with lending money to friends theyve
never met. This book is written for investors and
lenders who do not have a background in consumer finance, yet who wish to participate
in this new form of interpersonal finance. It describes how to become a passive
lender on Prosper.com by using standing orders to automate the process of finding
and bidding on unsecured loan requests. The author's primary goal is to enable
small-time lenders to be able to earn a second income from employing some of their
risk capital. Key stats on "Happy About People-To-People
