Congratulations, you are now signed up with Buzzfuse, and now it’s time to begin marketing yourself to the Buzzfuse community so that hopefully you can find a few more active readers of your post and also make your rankings slightly better.

1. Write your post in your blog as you normally would and then leave it open in a separate browser or tab.

2. Login to Buzzfuse and gather the code needed to market you post. 
–click the red “market content” button on the top of the page

–In the middle of your screen, there will be a box full of html code (if you’re not familiar with html code, it’ll look like a box of jumbled mess)

–You’re going to need to select everything in that box and copy it!  (A short cut I use is I click in the box, and then push “ctrl-a” on my keyboard to “select all” and then “ctrl-c” to copy.)

3. Return to your blog post to paste this code. (As Chatty Women, use Word Press, I’m going to give instructions/screen shots for that software)
–Normally, you write posts in “visual” view, but you’ll need to change to “code” view

–Go to the bottom of your post (or wherever you want the buzzfuse box to appear), and paste.

–Now Click “Publish” button as you normally do when you are ready to make your post visible to the public.

4. Activating Your Post (The Final Step)
–The first step that I forget about half of the time here is that you need to first click on your post so that you are only seeing that one post (in other words in your browser address bar it should say saying like http://chattywomen.com/busymom/2008/03/31/how-to-promoting-your-blog-with-buzzfuse-part-1/ not just http://www.chattywomen.com/busymom)
–Click the gray colored buzzfuse box in the post (this will cause a pop up screen that takes you to buzzfuse)

–In the pop up box, you will find a place to enter the details surrounding your post:

–Enter the Information about your post and click the “save” button (be sure that the URL is correct and goes to your post, not your entire blog)

–After clicking “save” the screen will change slightly, and you will then click “publish”

–Now you should receive a message thanking you for your submission

I know this may seem long (I just gave very specific instructions) and compiicated at first glance, but I promise it’s easier than it seems and gets easier every time you do it. Good luck and feel free to ask any questions.
