Weekly WordPress News and Updates: Now, Monetize Your WordPress Site for Free with WordPress.com’s New Features

WordPress.com has made its monetization features available for free. This means that users on the Free plan can now use monetization features without upgrading. In the past, WordPress.com users who wanted to earn money on their websites by collecting donations, creating a newsletter, or selling items or subscriptions had to be on one of the paid plans.

This is great news for bloggers and website owners who want to monetize their sites but don’t have the budget for a paid plan. With these new features, users can now earn money on their websites without having to spend any money upfront.

You can use these monetization features in various ways such as adding ads, creating an eCommerce store for physical or digital products, offering sponsored posts, publishing product reviews for affiliate marketing, repurposing your blog into a course or book and more. There are also many monetization WordPress plugins available that can help you generate extra income.
