Domain income? What are you talking about?
No blogger initiated advertising is allowed on WordPress.com blogs. The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains, that have enough traffic to be accepted into the WordAds program.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
http://en.wordpress.com/apply-for-wordads/Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed.
http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/ Here’s what gets a blog suspended:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/suspended-blogs/
http://en.wordpress.com/tos/1. WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert text affiliate links within post and page content to most third-party affiliate programs, provided they are not the primary content of the site in question.
2. Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.
NOTE: A self-hosted WordPress site might be right for you. 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/ See: Moving to Self-Hosted WordPress
https://move.wordpress.com/WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different 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/
If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.

re: purchasing upgrades
There is no monthly payment plan here. All upgrades must be paid for in full at the time of purchase. No purchase orders or invoices can be issued.
WordPress.com provides free blogs and hosts them free of charge. There are no bandwidth charges. All WordPress.com blogs come with 3000 megabytes (~3 GBs) of space for storing uploaded files and images. Free features are listed here https://en.wordpress.com/features/

Hi, timethief, thanks for your answer.
I have a wordpress.com blog, I wanted to obtain a domain with Premium bundle and then be able to install plugins such as polylang (or any that allows me to translate my entries into different languages).
According to the information you provided, I can’t install plugins within wordpress.com. Please, what would you recommend? Should I switch to wordpress.org? Should I get an external hosting and domain service, then install the plugins I need in my dashboard? I have very little knowledge of computing.
Thank you very much
best regards -
Thanks @timethief, to clarify, we are now able to allow some blogger-initiated advertising. The guidelines are spelled out on the advertising page you listed.

@simbioseconcerto if you need polylang, you would currently need a WordPress.org installation at another host.
But we have other language suggestions here:
