How do I get paid for my blog

    I have started a blog on WordPress, I was wondering if I’d be paid if my number of followers/views increase. If so, at what amount of traffic do I start getting paid and how much?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    , I was wondering if I’d be paid if my number of followers/views increase.

    No. This has nothing whatsoever to do with number of followers. Anyone can buy followers but only unique content that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet will draw those who are actually interested in the content. Advertisers select exactly which site they choose to advertise on.

    If so, at what amount of traffic do I start getting paid and how much?

    Premium upgraded sites and Business upgraded sites are automatically accepted into the WordAds program.

    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/ that have enough traffic to qualify for acceptance into the plan.

    Note that purchasing a Premium or Business upgrade automatically qualifies your site for WordAds.

    Q: How and when do I get paid?

    A: WordAds pays monthly via PayPal. Payments are sent around the last day of the following month. If you earned less than $100 in a given month, your earnings will carry over to the next month instead.

    Advertising rates fluctuate constantly. The online ads system is similar to the stock market where advertisers bid in real time, so earning will depend on how much advertisers are bidding at any given moment.

    Rates are also vastly different depending on the country the viewer is visiting from. Unless you have the same exact number of visitors from the same countries every single month, you’ll never be able to calculate a consistent rate just by Earnings vs. Impression totals.

    Advertising rates fluctuate constantly [because] the online ads system is similar to the stock market where advertisers bid in real time, and how much they bid depend on where in the world your visitors are coming from. If your earnings are low it means the bulk of your visitors are coming from countries where our advertisers don’t pay very much. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/no-word-ads-earnings-last-month?replies=8#post-2975482

    The traffic requirement numbers are not released.

    Eligibility

    Q: I applied to WordAds. When will it be available to me?
    A: Our advertisers have a minimum traffic requirement. Once you reach the level they’re looking for, your application will be automatically sent to them for evaluation.

    Q: What is the minimum traffic requirement?
    A: A site generally needs thousands of pageviews each month to earn meaningful revenue.

    Q: Why do I need a custom domain name?
    A: We are unable to provide WordAds for sites with the default free [example].wordpress.com URL, so you’ll need to either register a new domain name or map an existing domain name to your WordPress.com blog of choice.
