A Blogging Tutorial by SULAIMAND, Blogger and Content Creator
Introduction
Hello, world! I’m SULAIMAND, a blogger passionate about ethical content creation, especially for students trying to make the most of their digital voice. If you’re a student wondering whether it's possible to earn money from your blog without selling your soul, I’ve got good news for you: Yes, you can!
In this article, we’ll explore halal and ethical ways to monetize your blog as a student, while maintaining integrity, authenticity, and purpose. Whether you're writing about student life, tech, motivation, or even noodles cooked in 17 different ways (don't judge), this blogging tutorial will guide you step-by-step.
Why Ethical Blogging Matters for Students
Monetizing your blog shouldn't mean compromising your values. As students, we’re in a unique position—striving for income while juggling studies, identity, and growth. A blog can be a place of influence and learning. So, the way we earn from it should reflect the same ethics we apply in real life: transparency, honesty, and purpose.
✅ Reminder: Money earned unethically may come fast, but it doesn't bring lasting peace or barakah.
Halal and Ethical Ways to Monetize a Student Blog
1. Affiliate Marketing (the Honest Way)
Recommend products you actually use or believe in. Use disclosure notices to inform readers that you earn a small commission—transparency builds trust. Focus on ethical brands or educational tools.
Example:
Writing a post on study tips? You can add affiliate links to stationery, books, or online courses.

2. Google AdSense (Yes, It's Halal if You Do It Right!)
Ads are fine—as long as the content advertised doesn’t promote gambling, adult content, or other haram topics. Set up filters to block non-halal categories.

3. Sponsored Posts with Boundaries
Work with ethical brands or NGOs. Only promote products or causes that align with your beliefs and serve your audience well.
Tip: Reject offers that feel off—even if they pay more. Your blog is your reputation.
4. Create and Sell Digital Products
Use your student skills! Examples:
-
Study planners
-
Notion templates
-
Educational eBooks
Keep them affordable and useful to your audience. Sites like Gumroad or Ko-fi are perfect for students starting out.
5. Freelance Blogging
Offer your blogging skills to others! Many companies, bloggers, and startups are looking for student bloggers to write content. This can be a great side income without monetizing your own site heavily.
💡 Tip: Include writing samples in your blog so clients see your talent.
Extra Tips for Student Bloggers
-
Use SEO tools like Ubersuggest or Google Trends to find topics people are searching for.
-
Write with consistency — even once a week helps.
-
Stick to a niche you care about. Readers (and Google!) will trust your voice more.
-
Use internal links to keep readers on your site (like you're doing now—nice! 😉).
