  There is no FTP access and no plugin capability on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes anything at all stated here http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ FTP access, and plugins are available only for VIP bloggers http://vip.wordpress.com/our-services/ or for those with WordPress.ORG installs.
  Please read > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Thank you so much for your quick response. I am planning to include MailChimp autoresponder on my blog and I want to post amazon affiliate links to books I recommend. Does it mean that I need to create a brand new blog using the org service?

  Thanks again and have a good day

  That means you need to buy hosting, install WordPress.org software, and go from there. It cannot be done at WordPress.com.
