Is it bad to put a link to my site on my wordpress.com blog?

How's everybody doing. I have a few questions about putting a link to one of my sites on my Wordpress blog.

I just started a blog on Wordpress.com for shits and giggles. It won't be focused content, just random things. Maybe a post about an adventure my dog and I went on, a post about some new goodies/toys I picked up, a post about some art projects I'm working on, things going on in the world and etc etc. The blog doesn't even have a single post yet. I literally just signed up.

Anyway, I was wondering if it's alright to put a link back to one of my money making sites in the sidebar or if it would be bad practice since its a site-wide link and none of the content will be related to the content on my other site. Basically, I was thinking of putting something like "My Favorite Sites" and throwing in maybe one or two of my own sites in a list of 5-6 sites total. I wouldn't list my site or any of the others sites with specific keywords but rather just their brand names, or even unmasked URL's if that's better and looks more natural.

I think it's best to also mention that aside from posting links to my posts on Facebook, Twitter and a few other social media sites, I hardly build backlinks and tend to focus all my time on creating content instead. That said, my backlink portfolio isn't that diverse or large for that matter. There's a few income links from Pintrest and a few forums, but there's not a lot of links pointing back to my site at this point (still kind of new).

Could anybody give me some insight here? Thanks.

    There's nothing to lose and if it isn't working for you you can always delete it.

    Unless your WP blog was doing some blackhat stuff or isn't related to your current niche, then this should be a fine backlink for your money site. Worse comes to worse you can always remove the link. Your site should bounce back in a few weeks if you notice any problems, but it sounds like this link would be fine.
