  I want to upgrade to run ads, affiliate links and analytics code. In order to do this, would I have to do a self install with my own host?

  thanks

  You can’t do any of those on a free hosted WordPress.com blog. So “yes”, you will have to hire web host, set up a WordPress.org install and move your content by export and import into it.
