  I want to upgrade my WordPress.com site to WordPress.org but I don’t have money.
  That’s why I am going to delete my site.

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

  Okay, go for it. Entirely up to you.

  BTW you do not “upgrade” to WordPress.org. It’s a completely different system. Probably best not to delete anything until you understand it better.

  My real problem is that I can’t add new plugins to my blog. There is no plugin panel in my dashboard. I don’t have money to upgrade my blog. I have already deleted a blog today. I don’t want to delete this blog but this problem makes me to delete this blog also.

  STOP DELETING THINGS!

  Start reading: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you tell us what you actually want to accomplish with the plugins you intend to add, we can usually give you a workaround.

  I want to monetize my blog with infolinks because I told you that I don’t have money.
  If you can do so, please help.

  It takes money to make money. Infolinks are banned here. It doesn’t make sense to try to monetize a blog that has less than about 1000 readers a day, so my advice is to get a custom domain and mapping for $18 a year or so, develop your readership here, and then when you have enough readership, buy hosting, buy a Wp.org theme, and create a new site. Then change the nameservers to point to the new site and set the old one to Private.
