  4. . Leave other options as default.
  5. Click download export file.
  6. Save the file.
  7. Go to the account you want to move the posts too.
  8. Go to the admin section and go to the submenu Tools > Import.
  9. Select WordPress.
  10. Install the importer by clicking install and activate plugin and run importer
  11. Select file for import, the file you just downloaded.
  12. click upload file and import
  13. assign author as you prefer
  14. Check download and import file attachments
  15. Click submit.

You now just give to give your account a little while and refresh the page, you will see that the account has increased its number of posts.
