  You can’t sell your own ads on a WordPress.COM blog

  WordPress.COM takes 100% of the standard ad revenue on the regular ads they display (unless you have the no Ads Upgrade – in that case no ads appear on your site and they just get the cost of the No Ads Upgrade)

  If you are in the WordAds program – it was a 50% split with the blog owner – they sold the ads – you need a custom domain name to apply to WordAds

  You be welcome

  note that for any ad program to work you need a fair amount of traffic to make much money (some numbers I have seen put a floor of 50,000 to 100,000 page views in a year to get Pizza and beer money – others say larger numbers are needed)
