Doing well?
-
I just started this blog a few gays ago and one in particular seems to be doing well. I’m not sure because I have no idea how it compares to other new blogs. If I decide forgo my free site and pay for one, how will that effect the posts I already made to Facebook that have been shared? What are the benefits to upgrading my plan?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The only thing that would change is the URLs.
Frankly, I would not upgrade simply due to a lack of traffic. It takes some work to gain an increase in traffic.
To increase traffic see:

https://dailypost.wordpress.com/blogging-university/How domain mapping works
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.
WordPress.com does not provide an email service for blogs on their sub domains or on custom domains. Please see these support docs
