One of the most frequently asked questions I get is “Why should I register?” It’s a good question, since the benefits of registering at EricsCC.com aren’t really apparent until you actually do it. So here’s a list of some of the features that registering on this site open up to you. For the over 2,000 of you that are already registered here, you’ll want to take look at this list too and make sure you are taking advantage of all the features that are available to you!
Lender Watches
One of the most frequently used features for registered users are lender watches. There are currently over 1,000 active lender watches on EricsCC.com. The idea behind this feature is to give you a heads-up when a lender you like bids on a listing. You simply enter the screen names of the lenders you want to watch, and you can automatically receive e-mail alerts whenever that lender bids on a listing.
Group Watches
Another frequently used feature available to registered users is the group watch. If you have a good group who’s listings you frequently bid on, you can watch that group and get an e-mail alert whenever a new listing from that group is posted on Prosper.com. Never miss another Ohana listing again!
Forum Watches
The listing forums on this site provide a great place for lenders to talk about listings with other lenders or group leaders. This is especially true when loans go late. As a lender, you can opt to be notified when lenders are talking about a listing that you are a lender on. As a group leader, you can also be notified when people are talking about one of your listings.
Second Loan Notifications
One of the newest features available to registered lenders are second loan notifications. Now that Prosper is allowing borrowers to take out second (or more) loans, you might be interested in knowing when one of your borrowers is coming back for more. If they were a good borrower who paid off their loan, you might want to lend to them again. If their loan is still active, it might be an indication that things are heading south and your loan may soon be going late..

You’ve explained the advantages of registering at Eric’s CC. The one thing you have left out is how to set up a lender watch, group watch, or second loan notification. I’ve seen no links etc. to do this. Have I missed something on your web site?

Rajabart – A good point, I never really spelled it out. Here’s how it works:
1. Click the “Login” link in the upper right of the screen (or Sign up if you haven’t already).
2. Log in with your username and password.
3. Now that you are logged in, a “My Account” link will appear in the upper right corner.
4. Click on the “My Account” link and you will see a screen with a series of tabs that will allow you to watch lenders, groups, or sign up for second loan notifications.
Hopefully that helps!

Thanks, I’ve been all over your web site looking for something like that. I just never thought to look in my account.
