Anywhere your name and bio appears on Gumroad, you’ll find your follow form. We want it to be as simple as possible for your audience (and could-be audience) to stay up to date on you and your creative pursuits.
And now, with just a quick copy/paste of a snippet of code, you can embed your follow form on your blog or website, allowing you to collect email addresses in a near-frictionless universe.
When logged in, go to your profile page and click Follow form. There you can copy the code to your clipboard and place it wherever you like—Tumblr, Wordpress, your custom site—any page where you can edit the source code. You can also customize the call to action if you like. Followers/subscribers who enter their email addresses will be added to your Dashboard and will be ready to receive Updates and Workflows.
