Before I found your site I debated your loan for a while, but didn’t bid on it. Found the link to your blog through pfblogs–you’re already funded but I put a bid in. You have some solid advice on your blog.

Good luck.

Too bad my Prosper account is under $50 right now – I would like to support PF bloggers. A couple of tips for you though, since I am a Prosper lender;
1) Consider joining a group. You should only join a group where 100% of the rewards are shared, but there are many groups like that, and it adds a sense of security to the listing and should give you at least one additional bid (your group leader).
2) Consider posting a general monthly budget. As a PF blogger, I assume you have one, and I really like the ads where the individual has a clear idea of income and expense streams. You give a taste of it in your statement about having $200 left over, but a budget is much more powerful.
Hope this helps.

It may be worth considering getting a smaller loan. I haven’t done a lot of research, but I think fewer loans over 10K fund and generally they carry a little extra percentage.

I may be looking to bid, but most people wait until the last day or two so that they don’t have their money tied up missing better options as they come along.
