External hard drive or NAS would be great and have at least three copies of everything, preferably more. Ideally, all three sets should be on different media, and one copy should be “off site”.
Paypal i think.
Why I dislike? My biggest issue is that PayPal is enough like a bank that they have your money in an account, but not enough like a bank that they have to play by banking rules. They can arbitrarily freeze your funds and you have little recourse but to wait until they decide what they want to do.
I often check my images to see how well there are appearing in the google search. Many times I have found to my delight one of my images clicked on it only to find it leads to another picture on Pinterest and is a completely different product and no link to me or my artwork or product. It is very upsetting that original source takes second place to third parties and these pins are vanishing and being replaced. I have no idea how they are doing this but it is making using Pinterest to show my original art and work a place to consider complete withdrawing from.
