Now Reading ...
Have you ever been jealous with other’s achievement? I’m sure, if you are a blogger, you might happen to be jealous with other blogger’s stats and earning.
Please erase that thinking. I know some of their achievement are so amazing that will make your stress over your own achievement.
Take a look at Everton’s earning here. 
There are 2 common emotions will appear after you read the post:
- Feeling Jealous, and
- Feeling Challenged!
Jealousy is the prove of our lack of self-esteem and self-awareness. I’m also happened to be a person who jealous of other’s achievement couple months ago. I could never bear with John Chow’s earning and Shoemoney’s adsense check! 
Yes, I think it’s human’s natural habit to feel that way. My advise is, don’t. Don’t feel jealous, instead, shift your feeling to a positive one or make it as a challenge for yourself.
Why don’t be jealous?
Because when you are feeling jealous, you will do nothing but keep complaining if they are cheater, or the net is cruel to you. You will waste your time for nothing just to check at their stats and keep finding how they make that amazing income although working part-time.
Jealousy will make us feel angry, and don’t want to communicate or make the blogger as your death-or-alive eternal enemy instead learning from him how to achieve the same goals.
Try hard enough to think reversibly and take it as a challenge. Could you reach his earning after 2-3 years of blogging? Could you bear to write 1 post a day and write 1095 posts continuously for the next 3 years? Or may be more??
It’s an easy task if you think it’s easy. If you could make it happen, your life will be easier.
What you have seen in their earning and traffic stats is the fruits from the trees they planted last 3 years. Not the matter of overnight result like betting of horse race and win the first prize.
Shift your thought to positive one. Instead of jealous of other’s achievement, why don’t you put your time to create more excellence posts to blow your reader away?
Blogging not only about creating post, is also about how effective you can use your energy toward any aspect of your life, including relationship with others. Personally, I think blogging is like a our life, and blogosphere is our environment.
As long as you live harmonically with your environment, every part of your life will begin to rise slowly according to your dreams.
So, my 2 cents advise is:
no Jealous, ok?
Make life a better place by helping & adoring each other instead of feeling jealous. It won’t help you with anything but destroying your own bright future.

Thanks for the support Ken. I’ve been worried of late that people think I’m ‘bragging’ about my earnings, but my main aim is to try and encourage other bloggers and to share what it working for me, to try and help others make more. Writing the reports also help me in my own planning, as it helps me decide month to month what I think I should focus on, as well as getting tips back from my readers.

Yes. That’s what you should do to encourage your friends and reader to get the same result!
I’m really thank you so much because you dare to show us your actual earning. While lot of people acting like ‘ninja’ hiding their income, a ‘brave’ move like this will not interpret as ‘bragging’ bluntly.
Reply to Ken XuThat’s sooo unwise!

I’ve never thought of being jealous - in fact, I look forward to such reports as a way of finding out more on the good and bad in terms of monetising sites/blogs. Always good to learn from what others have done and apply/tweak them to your own for even better results.
Thanks also for pointing out Everton’s site - first time I heard of it and he has amazing results!

There are a few people out there who are not even shy to let it be known that they are jealous of a fellow bloggers achievements. You are holding yourself back and not living up to your full potential as the jealousy takes a hold of you
You are very right in saying there is no need to be jealous and we should “Make life a better place by helping & adoring each other instead of feeling jealous. It won’t help you with anything but destroying your own bright future”. We all gain a whole lot more if we are doing just this instead of being jealous.
Very good post!
