Answers
Your question, "What is the best Wordpress theme for my blog" is nearly impossible to answer. There are an incredible number of factors that go into website design to influence conversion, sales, and user experience.
A theme out of the box probably isn't the "right" answer for long-term success, but it may get you up and running. I don't think website design is ever "done". Think of megasites like Amazon or Facebook, they are constantly changing an testing.
That said, to set yourself up for growth, the ability to A/B test, change details and layouts, etc, I recommend a custom theme builder similar to Divi by Elegant Themes (www.shaunnestor.com/recommends/elegantthemes)
They have a number of pre-built layouts that you can use as a foundation, but changes as your needs fluctuate.
All the best,

Hi, you can found a great one in http://themeforest.net. If you need some help with install, hosting or something else, I can help okay? Best.
Hi there!
As far as where to look, I'd start with this list of frameworks, and email them directly to see if they recommend a specific theme for your service niche:
https://themeforest.net/
https://www.elegantthemes.com/
https://themify.me/
https://ithemes.com/
https://my.studiopress.com/themes/genesis/
There are many factors to consider when purchasing a premium theme:
1.) Is there an active support community? This should be at the forefront of your mind, as there's nothing worse than needing support only to find out that it's an outdated theme that doesn't get regular updates. Take a look at the changelog and see how often updates are pushed. Ask them about support turnaround time.
2.) Speed of theme - You don't want a theme that is bloated and will slow down your site.
3.) Aesthetics - Spend some time taking a look at demos of their theme. See if there's some sort of 'showcase' that shows other sites using that theme. Peruse those sites
4.) UX/UI - Is the theme intuitive enough to navigate around? Can you add your own custom CSS if necessary? Maybe you're not tech savvy, but if you decide to have customization done, you can always outsource having CSS written for you, which you can then add in the appropriate section within the theme's settings.
5.) Framework - Is the theme that you're considering part of a larger framework? For example, Themeforest is a framework that provides many different themes.
6.) Reviews - Check the reviews/testimonials on the theme.
Let me know if you have any questions :)

Is it worth paying to promote your personal blog?
If your goal is to build a community around the blog, I would focus on creating a strategy on spreading the word. Start by visiting other blogs that are similar and participate and comment in conversations. Offer to write guest blogs and receive link back and credits. Start a podcast that you can use with the Blog, this is something I would spend some money on and set up. Itunes is a great search engine and will help market the Blog very effectively.JS

I am in the process of building my blog, podcast & ebook, how can I build a bigger fanbase while in pre-production?
In order to build a bigger fanbase start by creating some anticipation post on social media as well as your blog. You can even release parts of the e-book an an opt-in to email them when it's complete. In the anticipation stage however, I would not recommend going with pay per click or Facebook advertising. Also, share your project on LinkedIn and ask for feedback and suggestions from experts. This is another great way to generate buzz for your upcoming content. Please let me know if you need any help as to how you can execute the following steps.RG

You can use affiliate marketing for this. ClickBank.com has lots of spirituality related products that will be great for advertising on this kind of niche. Generate link for those products from ClickBank, add banners or in-text links for these product and bring a lot of traffic. You can earn about 75% of the sale of these products from your affiliate links. Second option is infolinks.com.

What are creative ways to monetize an advice / self-help blog with good traffic?
Two things that immediately come to mind would be use of webinars, that allow for audience participation, covering a specific topic of interest to your audience for either a small attendance fee or as part of a premium subscription. I would lean more towards the premium subscription for the recurring income. The second would be to make regular book and audio resource recommendations from Amazon, providing your Amazon affiliate link to pick up the resource.CW
