Hello @anaghanyayadhish
Welcome to WordPress!I have just created an account, however I am not sure what plan is applied to it. I would like to start with free.
A plan is not applied to your account, it is applied to your WordPress.com site.
If you haven’t created a site yet on your account, click this link to get started: https://wordpress.com/start/ and follow all the successive prompts.
While creating a site if you choose a free address like ‘example.wordpres.com’ your site will use the Free plan and if you choose to use a custom domain like ‘example.com’ or ‘example.blog’ you will be asked to upgrade to a paid plan.
I also want to know how monetization of blog works?
As a blogger on WordPress.com you can earn money using WordAds-the official WordPress.com advertising program available for site/blog owners.
There are 3 paid plans on WordPress.com: Personal, Premium and Business. You can upgrade to any of these plans to monetize your site/blog using WordAds and start making money.
More info on making money using WordAds here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/monetize-your-site/#advertising
Please Note: The amount of money you make via WordAds depends on Ad impressions(not Ad Clicks). Check out this forum topic to see how the earnings are calculated: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/how-are-the-earnings-in-wordads-calculated?replies=3#post-919750
You do not have direct access to WordAds with Personal plan(like you do with the Business or Premium plans). You have to meet some eligibility criteria if you want to use WordAds with the personal plan. One of the eligibility criteria is a custom domain — which can be registered using this plan.
