  I have a WordPress blog site and want to use the domain that I have – so is there a need to transfer anything?? Also, can I charge a small fee to read articles on my blog?? Thank you in advance.

  You do need to have a paid plan, any paid plan, to use a custom domain on your WordPress.com site.

  We have two ways to use that domain:

  Mapping allows you to keep the domain registered with your current domain registrar and direct it to your WordPress.com site: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  A transfer would allow to manage both your site and domain from the same place: https://wordpress.com/support/move-domain/incoming-domain-transfer/

  As for charging folks to read your blog, check out our tutorial at https://memberships.blog
