  You can have a link to an externally hosted opt-in form, but you won’t be able to copy and paste the code from an e-mail marketing service onto your site.

  Here’s a around some people use to connect MailChimp to their blog: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/mail-chimp-signup-form-embed-code-doesnt-work?replies=5

  You could also use the contact form to collect e-mail addresses, but since it’s not a fully featured e-mail marketing system it wouldn’t track unsubscribes etc. for you.
