# How to create a gift link for a paid post

Gifting a post allows you to provide a URL to a post with your paid content and share it with readers who are not paid subscribers. This is a great way to share your paid content with your subscribers to encourage them to upgrade to a paid subscription, share with key stakeholders, or collaborate with other publishers for links to your best content, without a paywall.

> **Tech Note**
>
> Gift links are designed to display paid content only. For the best experience, we recommend using gift links exclusively for posts that contain paid content.  
> If any blocks in your post are set to free in their visibility settings, they will not appear in the gift link.
