I see how this can be super confusing, it was even confusing for me! And I am a tech person :D
Maybe running a relay for yourself may a bit too much... It involves some knowledge about servers, hosting and such. Nostr devs are always working on makig things easier, but there is still ways to go. maybe you can find a tech friend that can help you set it up, or even run one for you!
To post to custom relays, you can add the relay address (starts with wss://) under the relay settings in your nostr app .
for paid relays, usually you have to go to the relay website, input your NPUB and pay a fee via lightning. most use a monthly payment subscription. here is a list of relays, you can see which are free and which are paid by looking at the price: https://nostrwat.ch/
hope this helps!
