The complete beginner's guide to making money from Bitcoin faucets

[defaultking]

I've just added another update on how I'm doing with Milli. Here's the link to the update, should be interesting if you're running your own faucet.

Ofir, you mentioned hiring a free lancer to help you with the layout of your faucet, but I don't see you mention how much that cost in your blog post. Maybe you could update that as well. It would be good information ,I think, to find out where you found him and how much he cost. Thanks for the update. Look forward to hearing about how you're faucet continues to grow! Also, may want to compare your increase in traffic to price of bitcoin. I've noticed with mine it seems that traffic spikes as the price of that coin goes up.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree that those calculations should have gone into the post. I found the contractor on Upwork and it cost about $130 to set up the new design using Wordpress. I will be sure to keep you updated.

It surely helps all new users who wanna start as faucet owner.

In case somebody wants to create a faucet with a new system: www.fauceting.com

The concept is that users can create sponsored faucets with a banner (that goes to a referral link, for example). Faucets can be fully customized, you can choose the currency, amount, frequeny of the reward, etc...

The advantage for eaners is that they have access to a large list of faucets with multiple currencies in one single account

Which makes it look like a risky thing to create and run a bitcoin faucet. Competitors only would need to hire such cheap traffic, or maybe even clickers... and you would be out of business. That's used in other areas since a long time already. Dunno if there is a protection against.

Adsense will ban you anyway if you're a faucet. It's just a matter of how much time it will take them to find you. You can read about it here:

Guess it might only need a tip from a competitor then... and it looked to me like adsense was the only working solution for a working faucet that will bring the owner at least a little bit coins.

Actually I've been running the faucet for the past month or so with a profit without Adsense. Unfortunately it's like 10% of what I would be making with Adsense...

I can imagine... there is nothing like adsense. Which, at the end, leads to one having to be cautious alot when deciding where and how to implement adsense at all... no fun having to fear it being taken away easily.

very good topic, can I ask you something about altcoins? I would like to set up a faucet through MultiFaucet with an alternative cryptocoin, if I follow these steps I can create a similar one with the one below:

It depends on which altcoin you want to create a faucet for. Using a Wordpress plugin we've created you can a Bitcoin, Litecoin or Ethereum plugin. The script mentioned in the original post is no longer working. You could use Faucethub's script to create a faucet as well though.
