Before launching into all the ways to make money from writing a blog, it's important to point out that a blog is not a quick fix that will earn students and graduates a huge income easily.

There are countless blogs and websites out there that boast of making lots of easy money from their blog. While many blogs do make money (there are professional bloggers out there who make their living from their blog and have them set up as a business), the majority of blogs will only be earning a few pounds here and there. This is still a useful supplementary income, however, for students and graduates who have a bit of spare time on their hands and think they have a good idea for a blog.

How much people earn from blogging is down to their commitment to the blog itself, using social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest to support the blog, and knowing how to communicate in a professional manner with any representatives of businesses who may want to work with you via the blog.

If a student has an already established blog with steady traffic and is looking for work from home ideas, looking into monetising the blog could be a good way to pull in some extra income.
