No advertising?
-
So, let me get this straight… if I wanted to get sponsors for my blog, I can’t do it at all? Like, no sort of sponsorship? No sponsored blog posts? Nothing at all like that? I cannot place sponsor links in my blog whatsoever? I’m just trying to make sure I understand this right before I commit to buying a domain here.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Like no sponsored posts.
Like no paid content.
Like blogging your passion without expectation of reward.
Hey, you found the right place for that. :)No blogger initiated advertising, paid content or sponsored content of any kind is allowed on free hosted WordPress.com blogs and there is no upgrade that changes that reality.
There is only one advertising program called WordAds at WordPress.com and it’s for blogs on their own domains. Aside from a blog being accepted into WordAds http://www.wordads.co/ no blogger initiated advertising, retailing or reselling the work or products created or services provided by anyone other than yourself is allowed on free hosted wordpress.com blogs. E-commerce transactions via shopping carts and the like cannot be conducted on free blogs from and being free hosted by WordPress.com.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/There is no upgrade you can purchase from WordPress.com that changes any of that. If you do require an ecommerce site, advertising, affiliate links, paid or sponsored content you can hire a web host and get a free software install from http://wordpress.org
Refer to > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/No content is lost. You hire a web host http://wordpress.org/hosting/ and set up a WordPress.org install. Then you export your content out of the WordPress.com site and import it into the WordPress.org site.

I wasn’t EXPECTING a reward, I just didn’t want to invest into a domain and if I decided to do a sponsored post, it get me suspended! I’ve had other blogs where I’ve gotten free items to review so I could do a blog post about them. Now I know that I can’t do that here. If it’s something that I’m passionate about, and I could make a small amount of money telling other people about my passion, then it’s a win-win!
