Thanks for the recommendation on the lending club idea. I know I’ve heard about something like this before, I can’t remember exactly where, but it looks like it could come in handy in the future. Personally, I feel that for a startup blog, you should do as much as you can possibly do yourself, and if you don’t know how to do it – LEARN!! One of my ventures I’m working on with a partner involves a lot of PHP coding which I have no idea about. I went ahead and started learning myself, and although I’m no expert, I’ve learned a LOT and have been able to do WAY more than I thought originally possible. Saved myself the cost of a web developer right there!

How clever and great suggestion. I had not heard of P2P ….. interesting. The idea is great for time like this when people may want to reach out to friends.

That’s an interesting suggestion. Never really gave it much thought. I always thought the key to success of a blog or any business is more blood, sweat and tears! Money does alleviate some of that pain I guess..

When I read the title wasn’t sure where you were going, but I hadn’t thought about social lending. Very good idea, because you can pool friends for smaller amounts each to accumulate into a sizable loan. Also, you have the value of a new audience as you point out. This is where one’s online marketing chops get to shine, if you got the goods to secure a loan online, you have proven to yourself you have what it takes to do this “online thing”.
