# How to create a Protected Post

A Protected Post is a post that is associated with a single or many memberships, requiring users to view it and access the content after the purchase of the required memberships. Follow these steps:

1. **Click on your profile picture** in the top right corner of the page.
2. Go to "**My Board**."
3. Just under your banner, locate "**Type Something**" and click on it to open the Creating Post interface.
4. Add your Post Title.
5. Include a description for your post.
6. Add a cover image to make your post visually appealing.
7. Once you've filled in the details, click "**Next**."
8. **Select the type of utility** you want to share with your community:
   * Photo
   * External Video
   * Secret Code
   * Calendly Link
   * File
   * URL
9. Click "**Next**."
10. In the membership tab, **select the membership or memberships that your supporter must have to view your content**. You can choose a single membership, create a group, or provide an alternative membership option.
11. Click "**Publish Content.**"

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ucollect.me/tutorials/ready-to-start/are-you-a-community-builder/post-creation/how-to-create-a-protected-post.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
