Quiet quitting my side gig? Or am I just burned out?

I spent 3 weekends straight in June fixing up an old Etsy shop, got like 4 sales total, and now I keep staring at the dashboard feeling nothing. Should I push through the dry patch or just let it go, has anyone else hit this wall and actually rebooted their side hustle?

Man, four sales in three weekends isn't a dry patch, that's just how Etsy starts out. The thing people get wrong is thinking the work itself brings sales, but it's really the listings and pics and tags doing the selling. I've had shops sit dead for a month then pop once I fixed my titles and tags. So the question isn't push through or quit, it's whether you want to keep messing with it at all.

Been there man, watching a shop sit dead when you're putting in the work is rough. Sounds like you know way more about the tags side than I do though.
