blogging community/money making
-
If I want to make money through my blog, do I need to be on WP.org or can I do it through WP.com?
If I switch to WP.org, am I still a part of the blogging community….meaning, will my blogs still be tagged in the WP blog community? Will I still be able to see Freshly PRessed and search for other blogs under different categories?
I am happy w WP.com, but someday, I would like to consider making money from my blog.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The only advertising program here is WordAds http://wordads.co/ and it lets WordPress.com bloggers with moderate to high traffic and appropriate content blogs on their own domains turn on ads and earn money from their blogs.

no blogger initiated advertising of any kind or sponsored content or paid content is allowed on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. You may want to review the information at these links below before you get too far along:

The good news is you can sell what you personally create but our blogs cannot be equipped for Ecommerce transactions. We can use a PayPal button http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/ and/or acontact form http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ to sell products and/or services we create. We can set up a shopping cart elsewhere online and create a custom menu on the blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ with a cusom link to a shopping cart in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links

I am confused though timethief, because I have found wordpress.org blogs being listed in the reader here on wordpress.com. how do they manage to do that?

Please post the URLs and I’ll have Staff respond to that. Then subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

here is just one that I was told previously is a wordpress.org site that shows up in the reader all the time in a few topics I follow: http://hip2save.com/

You should be able to subscribe to WordPress.ORG blogs with the Reader since it just grabs the RSS feed – but a WordPress.ORG blog should not show up in the WordPress.COM tags
That said, a news site found my site based on a tag I had used and I think he was using Google reader so some readers can reach out a bit
-
http://hip2save.com/ – is a WordPress.COM blog with domain mapping for the custom domain name – just like timethief’s and my sites are
