  Hey @heavencegbonwon,

  First, you need to sign in to your WordPress.com account, then go to the Dashboard and then click on Export under Tools menu.

  To access your WordPress Dashboard you need to add /wp-admin/ after your website URL. Now you need to Download XML file.

  Now login into your self hosted website. Now click on Tools >> Import. You will be asked to install WordPress Importer once you click on WordPress in this menu. Install and Activate it.

  A new screen will open asking you to upload the XML file that you have already downloaded, upload your XML file. All your post will be imported from WordPress.com to your self hosted site.

  Now you need to fix a few other things like, Importing your Blogroll Links, Redirecting Visitors and Preserving SEO.
