  Hi I have a blog about Qigong. It’s a free site. I am writing a blog about creating more Qi indoors and using crystals and safe. I wondered if I could use an affiliate link to a product with a company I affiliate with. The product is a crystal. I thought I would check as I not sure what the rules all. It’s not a spammy blog or hard sell and the article will offer much value. Thanks for your time.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,

  Using affiliate links is allowed on WordPress.com.

  We work well with Amazon Affiliates, so this may be of interest also: https://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-amazon-com-affiliate-links-to-your-wordpress-com-site/

  I hope this helps.

  Is it ok to use an affiliate on a free wordpress site or do I need to turn my blog into a paid plan first

  As long as the affiliate link you’re using doesn’t have code which is unsupported (e.g. iframe code, or JavaScript), it’s totally fine to use the affiliate on your free site.

  We have information here regarding the code which is, or isn’t, supported on free sites and the different paid plans:
