Adding adds for income
-
I have started a blog at the first level, the free level, and am wondering what is the simplest way to eventually start adding in some advertising to make income. I’ve been reading about this, and there are so many ways to do it that I’m getting confused. What is the simplest way to convert my ‘hobby’ blog into one that may provide some income, in five steps or less. Is this a naive question?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

No blogger initiated advertising is allowed on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
http://en.wordpress.com/apply-for-wordads/Advertisements, including those from third-party advertising networks like Google AdSense, OpenX, Lijit, BuySellAds, and Vibrant Media are not allowed on WordPress.com.

Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed.

http://en.wordpress.com/tos/NOTE: A self-hosted WordPress site is what you need. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
This guide will explain how to move your WordPress.com site to another hosting platform: Moving to a Self-Hosted WordPress Site
https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
For sites not hosted here, if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

So, the simplest way to do this is to buy a domain from WordPress, and use all their recommended software to set up a new blog at that domain name, but somehow it is still a WordPress site, because I am still using their server, and then let them put in ads for me? Is that about right?

No you do not have to move your site off of wordpress.COM hosting. You can purchase a domain mapping upgrade and then apply for WordAds.
