Book Description

March 6, 2008
The Complete Guide to Prosper.com is the first book detailing how to use the popular peer to peer lending website, prosper.com. With step by step information on how to sign up, even computer novices will be able to take advantage of the benefits of borrowing or lending money online. The guide book walks readers through tips & traps of signing up and establishing a listing that will be more likely to get funded than many of the listings that are posted (most do not get funded). From a lending standpoint, the book explains how to become a lender, and gives an overview of how to place bids and plan to maximize interest and return on investment. You can also become a group leader on Prosper.com, and the book will show you how to start, promote, and maintain your group. Finally, the book is full of tips and resources that will help you maximize your Prosper.com experience.

Review

Here is a book that's a long time coming. Prosper.com is a website that facilitates connecting people that want to lend money with people that want to borrow money. It can be great for those who want to get better returns than their money markets are paying as well as borrowers who cannot get a good interest rate from their credit cards or their bank. Prosper.com is changing the face of lending every day and will be a financial force as people discover they can cut out the middleman and make more money on their savings or pay less in interest. But here s the problem: just because you want to borrow money doesn t mean there are people out there that want to lend it. --DebtSmart com Scott Bilker

A new book on Prosper.com goes on sale today The Complete Guide To Prosper.com. I meet the author at Prosper Days and he gave me an advanced copy... I have read it and here are my thoughts... Books are a tough medium for an up and coming ever evolving startup... However, this book had some solid advice for prospective borrowers... As far as I can tell everything is accurate at the time of the release of the book (which is no small feat given the pace of change). If you ever wanted to just read a book on Prosper to figure out how it works and what is going on now is the time. One nice thing about a book is that there are no advertisements... One bad thing is that you have to pay up front. If you choose not to purchase the book, I assure you that if you continue to read RateLadder.com I will do my best to keep you informed as to all the twists and turn in the p2p lending landscape. --RateLadder com

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything I needed to know plus the secrets to make it work for me!, March 1, 2008
This review is from: The Complete Guide To Prosper.com (Perfect Paperback)
The Complete Guide to Prosper.com is exactly that...complete. The writing is specific, easy and clear. The layout takes you step-by-step through the process of making Prosper.com work for you. The author gives you the type of basic information you would expect but he also tells you the subtle unknown factors that lead to success with this powerful tool. The book is full of practical advice and even screen shots from the actual Prosper.com web site. I have looked at the other books available. This one is the best I've seen. It really has everything you need.
