Will upgrading allow me to monetize my site and put whatever kind of content I want on it (ads, banners, etc.)?

No it will not as no blogger iniataed advertsising is allowed on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. Please see here for clarity > Domains - Important Notes Before Upgrading
For monetizing your blog see WordAds.

Will upgrading allow me to monetize my site and put whatever kind of content I want on it (ads, banners, etc.)? Basically I would like to use my site to make money, especially with my Beachbody business, but right now I am not even allowed to put my Beachbody Coach website in my blogs as a link. Is the upgrade worth it?
