I am wondering if anybody has gone to one for the Prosper Webinars on lending, borrowing money, and group leading.
I have been receiving email invitations for several weeks, but I don’t see how they would help me. If you have gone to one of them can you tell me if they would help me?
I can see how they would be useful for new lenders and new/unsuccessful borrowers. In fact, helping borrowers write better listings is even more important now than ever.
As for lenders, if they can get the new lenders to stay away from the ridiculously bad debt that would help there lender retention rate I am sure…
Who is giving the webinars?

Prosper.com Lenders Unite: Where is our Interest?

I went to one of the first ones they did back in June. The lending 101 course. As a new lender myself at the time I learned how to save a search – that was the most advanced thing they taught and the only thing I didn’t know already.
The best part was the Q&A after the instruction.
I wrote a review of the webinar here.
