I bought a WordPress theme from themeforest.com
I don’t have a business plan and I am not willing to pay 300 for that, what other ways around this do I have?

If you want to purchase and use your own themes, you either have to upgrade your wordpress .com plan, or move to a managed wordpress host (like Cloudways).
Please read the sticky post at the top of the subreddit to learn the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.
1 – You need to get yourself some hosting
2 – Point your domain (nameservers) to your hosting
3 – Download WordPress from wordpress.org
4 – Upload & Install WordPress on your server
5 – Upload your theme & install it’s plugins
6 – Import demo/dummy data
7 – Start Editing and customizing to your needs
If you can’t do all these, there’s a lot of youtube videos.. It seems to be a lots of stuff, but you can make it in around 15 – 20 minutes ( From Point 3 to 6 )
Else, hire a dev ✨
Please, please read the first pin on this sub. WordPress . Com is not WordPress . Org, I know it is confusing and they use dishonest tactics to trick new comers and the hordes of people moving to WordPress is exploding. Because almost every person in the world needs at least 1 website in this day and age. Websites are even outperforming mobile phone apps, in a majority of ways and metrics. It’s like there is a renewed Renaissance for websites while mobile apps have lost their luster.
