  I am trying to set up a blog site so that I can have advertisers, and make some kind of revenue. However, I am reading on WordPress, that it’s not allowed while using the software to blog. Is this true? Would I have to pay a yet additional fee to do so? What, or who can I use to allow for advertising on my site? I have my own domain and hosting through a different company. I was just going to use WordPress to set up a construct for my blogs.

  Please help! I have not even begun writing my blog or setting it up, beyond directing WordPress to my domain. I am finding that every little step seems to cost money. I am trying to get this started in order to make money.

  We do have an advertising program called WordAds, which you can apply for at http://en.wordpress.com/apply-for-wordads/

  Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed. For full details, please see:
  http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/
  http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/

  If you require other advertising, you might be interested in a self-hosted (WordPress.org) installation. There are no restrictions on advertising if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities.

  Please see this link to learn about the differences:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
