Would running a faucet be profitable today?

[coinableS]

I just planned to start faucet with faucetbox & gradually go for custom script with earning, just in 2 days thousands of visitors came for claim, I immediately need google adsense, But don't know if they approve my site or not, as it is one week old domain only.
 

Do you have a youtube and an older domain laying around? You can register for adsense on your youtube account and then connect an older domain for approval. Once approved you can put ads on any site as long as you add it to your adsense admin/dashboard without further approval.

Yeah I figure, you'd need to set aside at least a couple BTC's for the first weeks/months.
Another thing I was wondering is if it would be a good idea to require people to make an account on you faucet before they can use it?

People hate creating accounts for anything, even if it is free money...

That is the reason, I don't have old domain, Is it I have to wait 6 months to get adsense approval now, then it is too bad, as I am not able to see any good site for earning through my faucet.

Why do you only want to use Adsense? Adsense is ppc when you can have ppv? Like many people would click the adds right? No, instead the following would be more intrested;

- Placing adds with referal links to casino's and so
- Placing adds with referal links to other faucet (a faucet list)
- Selling adds space for btc on it (i forgot the name of the website)
- Social Media (Add twitter, facebook and sell messages/tweets)
- YouTube (Make a youtube video thats shows you get free bitcoins)
- Make your own faucet script, so you can control the outcome, make one with a jackpot like 1/1000 will win jackpot of 0.01 btc or something like that

I own some prime domains for a faucet imo, if anyone is interested in making one perhaps. I just cannot handle the tech side.

[avatar_kiyoshi]

I prefer to running faucet rotator, which you don't need to deposit your money and you still earn from reff commision and ads network.

[Miklagard]

 Why not combine the two?

 We are aiming at creating a faucet AND another faucet rotator which will have our faucet at first and move along for hundreds of other faucets.

Thanks for giving this tips, but this is all headache for new user like me & it will take lot of time & I always have to search for new advertisers or affiliate program.

If I get adsense then all headache is of adsense & they always having new advertisers to show for my faucet users.

True, im in this business for a long time now so i know my why. Might even create a new faucet script that fits my wishes =] (Just because i could not find any online that matches it).

Its simple, if you want to play it simple and might not even break even (depends on the domain name and your skills aswell) then use Adsense, if you want make some more add a faucet list + refferal links and banners on your page and you might gain some money

If you can manage it, why not, but it's need to more effort for manage both.
i'm sure your coins will be circulation for refund faucet balance.

I really need to start catching up on learning web development.  This could be an easy project for me to work on, on the side...if I only knew where to start.

It is easy

1) Create a randomizer that picks a random price (or do one prize like 0.00001 btc or something)
2) Connect to the blockain api (easyest way) to transfer bitcoins from your account to theres
3) Signup for some refferal casinos and place the ads on your website

I take that with a faucet rotator you are only collecting from referrals. You do not have to give out any satoshi to visitors but you do not make anything on ads?

True this is an option aswell, just iframe faucets =] Something like this

I think it's too risky to run a typical faucets nowadays. Well, I mean... it is hard to calculate the amount of Bitcoin you're giving out and what you're earning for ads. Thus, I created BitRevenues. A service which share it revenues to its users. I will be earning at least 0.01 BTC every time a round ended. There's no need to do mass calculation to find out if you get a profit. You just need to predict when will a round end and minus it from the hosting and domain fees - the result is your profit. .

I wouldn't say running a faucet is risky, the initial investment you'd have to make to have one up and running is actually pretty low, if you could build the faucet yourself.

Well. I agree that the initial investment we have to make is very low. However, the problem is the calculation part. Whereas, you need to calculate every now a then so as to make sure you will not give out more satoshi than you make.

This is easy, just put all the giveaways in a database en sum them up month by month and compare them with your add income

Yeah this is how I had planned to do it. Do you have any idea of the popularity of faucets nowadays?
