  Hi theviolasdiary,

  Everyone can subscribe to your blog even if it is free or not.

  There are couple of ways to ask others to subscribe or follow your blog, please see these articles to do it:

  by adding a follow blog widget:

  or asking other to click your site’s follow button:

  External Follow Button

  There are additional subscription options. May I please post them?

  re: wordpress.com blog subscriptions

  All that’s required to follow any blog hosted by wordpress.COM is exactly what you were required to provide to register here, and that is a valid email address that the published posts can be sent to.

  Here at WordPress.COM subscribers control their own subscriptions and frequency of receipt of posts from sites they subscribe to. We cannot act on their behalf. Also note that when subscribers provide an email address to get your posts that is all their email address can be used for.

  You can set up email subscriptions here > Appearance > Widgets > Follow Blog Widget by using this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/follow-blog-widget/

  Widgets can be configured to appear only on certain pages (or be hidden on certain pages) by clicking on the Visibility button.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/#widget-visibility

  We have a subscription shortcode which you can make use of. The help page on it is right here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/blog-subscription-shortcode/ You can also include the subscription shortcode at the end of every post you publish.

  You cannot use the Mailchimp popup embed code provided by Mailchimp, however, Staff have recently added the Mailchimp widget for subscriptions and here is the link to the guide you must use https://en.support.wordpress.com/mailchimp

  Additional information:
  You can create a Subscribe page http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/ add and customize a contact form with multiple fields, change the email address where you’ll be notified, and mark feedbacks as spam from your dashboard on that page. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/
