I am considering starting an ecommerce blog. Yes, I plan to have adsense on it and want to make money with it.

Ecommerce is very competitive. Am I wasting my time?

Thoughts?

Depends - how is your current reputation? Do you have an established blog with readers? How is your writing skill?

There are many things that go into consideration pertaining to making a successful blog. No blog can ever have a "successful" future. No one can predict that. It depends on the writing and if it catches on.

I guess my major concern is the high amount of competition for SERPs. I don't have the site started yet. I was planning on writing based on my own experiences and successes and failures.

I agree partially with you Bryan, but what you should be saying is every blog can have a "successful" future.

Every blog, every website, every affiliate has a potential to be successful. The only real determining factors from each success to the next is motivation and time.

My advice is to start it off very clean and simple. Don't monetize it until it has a decent userbase

What do you think about the SEO issues since it has so much competition. Am I better off putting my time into some other niche?
