Monetization

Can you monetize your blog with adsense if you have the free plan?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey lively550,
To allow Google AdSense, you require to add its code to the header of the website which is possible only if you have a Business Plan.
It’s because you will need a plugin for that.
So, you can’t use Google Adsense if you have a free plan. Although, you can monetize with WordAds and other ways.

WordAds is the official WordPress.com advertising program. The program features ads from external ad networks such as Google, Facebook, AOL, and more.
Please read more about it.

When I go to sign up for word ads, it says I have no eligible blogs, I must have a custom domain to sign up, I tried adding one of my domains but it says I must upgrade to add my own domain.

You will need a site with a custom domain on an upgraded plan in order to apply to the WordAds program, yes.

See here for Business plan details https://en.support.wordpress.com/business-plan/There are no monthly payment plans.
Each upgrade bundle applies to a single blog only and is for a single year only when it is due to be renewed. (The only exceptions are one time upgrades for premium themes and guided transfers.)
We are billed annually. There are no monthly payment plans for upgrades. We pay for all upgrades in full at the time of purchase ie. for a one-year subscription and thereafter the plan is renewable annually.
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/
We have 4 different plans: free, personal, premium and business. All hosting is free regardless of which plan you choose. You can view all WordPress.com plan features here https://wordpress.com/pricing/

@lively550, as @timethief mentions, we bill yearly for upgrades.
Let us know if you have additional questions.

No. With the Personal Plan you can add a custom domain, and that will allow you to apply to our WordAds program.
To use Google Adsense on your site requires the WordPress.com Business Plan, at $300 a year.

With the Personal Plan, you can apply to AdWords, but you need to have a meaningful amount of views (the exact amount isn’t published) to be accepted into the programme.
The Premium and Business Plan can both use AdWords, regardless of view count: https://wordads.co/faq
Hope this helps!

The prices are show as the price per month, but we bill yearly for all of our plans, so the cost is always 12 x [the monthly amount of the chosen plan].
In the case of the Premium plan it would be $8 x 12 months = $96 yearly.
