Another things folks can do if they have their own website is drag and drop=
=3D
files to your website hosted space.=3DA0 You create a folder and through y=
ou=3D
r "Computer" in the start menu you have a network location or you can add y=
=3D
our website to it.=3DA0=3D20
To do this, go to the "start menu,"=3DA0 "computer" under "network location=
" =3D
right click and add a network location.=3D20
Now type your website in and name and password and you will have net direct=
=3D
ory access to it.=3DA0=3D20
Leave the window open, on your desktop create a folder called "mycomputerba=
=3D
ckup" and drag it into your directory (not into a folder).=3DA0=3D20
Now you can drag and drop any files into your "mycomputerbackup." folder.=

=3DA0 Most web hosts have unlimited storage now.

i totally concur with kathi.=3DA0 it all depends.
full time, rural, urban, part time.
i live in an area where my 50 miles includes about 2 million people.
i work local buyers..there are about 50,000 in my close neighborhood.
but, anyone can work local.=3DA0 it pays.
the first place to sell pots is home.=3DA0 work it, try it.
then launch a wider net.
also, memorize what chris campbell has to say.=3DA0 she is our resident
expert.=3DA0 listen and learn.
and get your data base started.=3DA0 every name, of everyone you know.
then add all the time.
never put that off.=3DA0 i have the name of everyone that has ever purchase=

i have purchased carbonite.=3DA0 i have almost 16 gigs on their site.
lots of clayart stuff too.=3DA0 many things that would be a disaster to los=
e.
almost 600 pix.

they do not copy software.=3DA0 that is why i never=3DA0 bootleg software.
it sits in a box, ready to be re/installed.
qwest now will store 2 gigs free.
and there are many companies out there that are now doing
off computer storage.=3DA0 and, of course, having a couple of inexpensive
plug in hard drives is really inexpensive and easy to do.
because of clayart...virus attacks etc...i have three hard drives, three
2 gig data sticks.=3DA0 each with books and special things on them.
i saw a four gig stick for 9 bucks the other day...just did not need one.
it has become almost a must to back up.=3DA0 if you don't, don't wear
eye make up...it will run as you cry.
