If you’ve got a website, and you’ve thought about how to get email subscribers, then you might like what we’re doing below this post.
Instead of just saying “subscribe to our email newsletter,” these days you have to give people a little more of a “reason why” for doing so.
In our case, we’re offering a few “bribes” that you can get in exchange for subscribing to our email list.
This may change, but at the time of this post in June 2022, we’re bribing email subscribers with.
- A $5 Starbucks giftcard
- $20 in FREE Retargeting Postcards From Thanks.io
- Naked Pictures Of Ryan’s Dog
Here’s a quick video about our email “subscribe bribe” setup

As explained in the video, the “email subscribe bribe” form below has a bunch of saucy stuff going on with it.
- Formidable Form reveals forms conditioned on bribes chosen
- Formidable creates pending seo optimized ad post w/ backlinks
- Automation triggered that adds subscriber to crm
- Automation triggered that sends a Thanks.io gift card
This might all sound a bit technical, and sure, it kinda is. But it’s also not that hard to put the pieces together once you understand a bit about the flow.
If you want any help strategizing a similar email subscriber flow for your site, feel free to reach out.
If you’d like to become a hustlesauce email subscriber, and claim a few of the bonuses just use the form below.
