Cupertino, CA (PRWeb) 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 they've 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.
