  Hello; I just got my blog up and running on wordpress. But I chose free hosting and since I want to include affiliate links I think I need self hosting. What do I do now and how can I transfer/host my previous blog to this same link?

  You won’t be able to self-host your blog and continue to use your .wordpress.com URL. Instead, you need to purchase hosting and a domain name. We have hosting recommendations here:
  http://get.wp.com/hosting/

  You can then transfer the content from your WordPress.com site to your self-hosted site by following this guide:
