  Hi @pgomabatchi

  Most of the monetizing options available on WordPress.com are for sites on Premium plans or higher. The premium content block would be so much suitable for what you want to accomplish on a budget. The best options for selling downloadable content would be with the use of plugins but that also requires a plan higher than premium. If you are ever willing to consider upgrading the plan those are some of the functions to look forward to.

  With your plan, the free plan, the best option to collect payments for services/products would be to use the PayPal button. This guide goes into the more detailed steps on how to add the button to your site. You can then arrange to send the buyer the document once you receive the payment.

  I hope I answered you well enough, let us know if you need further assistance.
