Upgrading my WordPress Plan
-
So I just bought a new domain name through go daddy and was then told that i needed to upgrade on wordpress to a payed plan so i can then have my own website. I am hoping my site can then be bethssmilinvibes.com without wordpress in the URL. Need to know the steps to take in order to do this. I have my own domain all set up but it still has the wordpress branding in the URL. Also I want all of my content from my free hosted blog to be on my new domain.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What you want to do is Domain Mapping.
If you wish to use your new domain with your WordPress.com site, then you will have to purchase the plan as mentioned in the support page and link above:
You will need an upgraded WordPress.com plan on your site in order to map a domain.
You can check out the plans available here:

Hope this helps!
Cheers:)

Also, I am looking to monetize my blog. I actually have a fashion haul with the links to the site I got the clothes from. Was wondering if there is any way I can start earning money from this? Is there anything you can do on wordpress to drive more traffic, like plugins or anything like that?

The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains that have enough traffic to qualify for acceptance into the plan.

How domain mapping works
Registering an underlying .wordpress.com URL first is required for domain mapping. That underlying URL does not have to match the domain URL when you are domain mapping. What domain mapping does is providing a seamless redirect to the very same content under the new domain URL when a person clicks the old URL .wordpress.com to the original content. It can take up to 72 hours for domain propagation to take place throughout the internet but it doesn’t usually take that long. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/There are 3 ways to add a custom domain to your blog. Please note that an active WordPress.com plan is required to add a custom domain to your site. https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/#getting-started
WordPress.com does not accept domain transfers but mapping an existing domain is possible. http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/ The domain or mapping of any existing domain URL is included in the pricing for a personal upgrade, a premium and a business upgrade. The WordPress.COM upgrade for mapping a domain must be renewed annually.
WordPress.com does not provide an email service for blogs on their sub domains or on custom domains. Please see these support docs

https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-forwarding/Aside from purchasing the upgrade http://wordpress.com/pricing there is nothing else you need to do
