I've had an online store for 4 years while working full time. I would never... and in the current climate i really mean NEVER leave a full time job unless the online site has given you enough savings that you won't need a full time job.

I have 11 years web and SEO experience and because I can't 100% control what search engines do I never have the complete control I need to make me think of leaving a full time job.

Hours are long, work in hard but I have my eggs in more than just these two baskets so if one fails I have backups in place. That lets me sleep more soundly at night.
