Traffic are millions of humans who want to see something that inspires them to buy and just giving them a link or landing someone on a site, no longer cuts it.
I've said it before and will say it again. Getting traffic is the easy part, converting it is what's hard and if you can't afford to pay for traffic and/or create something that inspires people to buy. You're no longer going to find it easy to make a living.
Google, FB, YT, down to Youporn aren't great because they have traffic. They have traffic because they have something people want and need.
Worrying about weeks, months or seasons shows you have no buffer for the lean periods that happen every year.

I am not "worrying". In fact, this thread is about NOT worrying, instead explaining how April is always a down month and to not panic.
Traffic IS easy to get and most intelligent webmasters know it's all about the conversions. I will take 20 people hitting my website if 10 of them buy (1:2) as opposed to 10k hitting my site and getting 1 sale.
So again Guru Paul, duh.
