Chris has some excellent answers.
When switching from a CMS to another CMS I really like to use
Here is the bare-bones method
https://www.zippykid.com/resources/kb/getting-started/migrate-from-different-platforms-to-wordpress/
is described here however the CMS to CMS application will take care of all the 301 redirects if you are using WordPress I strongly recommend using a managed WordPress hosting company. they will take care of making sure your links and much more are set to the proper settings.
One of the best is not charging until your website goes live and they are experts in WordPress as well as hosting this makes a big difference to me at least and hopefully will be helpful to you.
ZippyKid Has pricing fantastic along with outstanding service and WordPress expertise. You really get a lot for your money. Here you can try it at no cost.
Respectfully,
Thomas

xoffie,
This is a good, up to date guide on moving from blogger to a custom domain. It will walk you through the main hurdles as you make the move. www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-switch-from-blogger-to-wordpress-without-losing-google-rankings/ and what that one doesn't cover, this one does http://blogger2wordpress.com/
There's a plugin that will 301 redirect traffic from your Blogger account to your new wordpress site: http://wordpress.org/plugins/seo-blogger-to-wordpress-301-redirector/faq/

Help getting a Wordpress.com site to rank
Hi all, I have a blog for my site, but it hasn't been integrated into our site yet (that will happen in the next few months when we do some site changes). For now, it sits on a Wordpress.com site, and links from my website. I post a couple times a week, have social media linked to it, and feed posts to aggregators regularly. I also comment and like other Wordpress.com sites, but it just isn't ranking. Do I just need to stay persistent? It's been up for a month now, but still only getting a few hits a day. Any advice?
