You can set a free subscription for your collection in the following way: **1.** From the [My Publications](https://www.joomag.com/Backend/ControlPanel/MagazineWizard/Magazine/index.php) page open the collection you wish and click the **Subscription** tab from the **Actions** button. ![](https://help.joomag.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/downloads.intercomcdn.comio567704761c273820e45d89041fe7b03ebScreen+Shot+2022-08-23+at+16.19.02-1.png) **2.** Choose the **Free Subscription** and mention how often you will make Live your publications. ![](https://help.joomag.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/joomag.intercom-attachments-7.comio399941751027c221005089dda04c2cf171OfFv3qwGILGRNSjjtrTnBralMdATdEwe-e=download-1.png) **3.** Once your readers open your publication [a subscribe form](https://intercom.help/joomag/en/articles/5632339-create-and-share-subscribe-forms) may or may not pop up.
