This isn’t something new Jennifer, one of my consultants had her wordpress.com blog shut down more than two years ago and she wasn’t overly promotional nor was she continually linking back to her own website to sell things.

I was already aware of this but she somehow misunderstood and set up her blog there anyways and was terribly upset when it got shut down.

I wouldn’t recommend wordpress.com to any direct sales consultant, you are far better off to invest in a domain name and use the self hosted version of the software from wordpress.org. It’s just not worth the risk!

If paying for a domain and hosting isn’t an option there are many places you can setup your blog that don’t have these restrictions. Always read the terms of use very carefully before you start!

By the way, MailChimp a popular, free newsletter or mailing list service provider doesn’t allow MLM or affiliate marketers to use their service either.

It does not surprise me that WordPress is cracking down on this issue. Fortunately I made the move months ago to a self-hosted version of WordPress.
And I use my blog as a tool for connecting with people and offering useful content. This focus has served me well thus far.
