WordPress.com is pretty strict when it comes to monetization.
Many of the most common revenue strategies that bloggers depend on such as Google Adsense or affiliate marketing are not allowed, although you can promote your own products.
Advertising is also a gray area. In their terms of service, WordPress.com say they may show Google ads on your site, not ideal if you want your blog to be an ad-free zone.
