Is running a faucet still profitable?

[mtnsaa]

I think it will be profitable for a long time since there are still many users entering the world of Bitcoin. I know when I first started I thought faucets were great, then after some time you understand they are a waist of time. Either way for many people who have the time and patience it can be a valid way to gather some BTC, specially with services like Faucet Box. In some years if the value rises a lot it could be just like the old days and those satoshis could be worth many dollars.

Its profitable if you manage it properly. Making a traffic is difficult because you need to distribute this on any forums.
Or Via seo and also you need to pay to advertise your site to make lots of traffic..

In my opinion, just do it, what's the harm, from there you can find out and learn a lot about it, and you certainly will know what you should do, continue or stop, or do other alternatives.
Regarding profitable or not, I think it's back to the individual self, if you are smart and creative you can do it all.

Do you guys recommend using FaucetBox or some in-house system?

(For starters)

Well the cost of starting a faucet are very low. There are plenty of free scripts out there.

There is even no need for a bitcon deamon running. With that in mind you only have to focus on marketing and earning.

There are some CPM campains out there, but you will make more with some related b2b affiliate campaigns I think.

Else there is always Google Adsense

For some people faucets is profitable, like for people who is starting to know about bitcoin.
25 cents a day is a lot for some peole. Faucets is also good if you want to gambling with it instead of bitcoin.

Does it just need traffic that it will work even if its not targeted traffic? if so you can probably just use social media marketing, youtube video marketing or even use the cheaper pop-up adnetworks today which you can set for CPM.

How much is the maximum earnings of faucets by the way?

I've had a faucet but i decided to kill it. It cost quite a lot and earning back with advertisements is very difficult.
Also the hosting bills kept stacking up, so I decided to pull to plug

It doesn't surprise me at all. Faucets used to be "the thing" when bitcoin was in a bubble, and there were tons of people that were eager to try it out how
bitcoin is functioning w/o having to buy some. Now, that things have cooled down, and bitcoin is better explained on many places, the audience for
faucets is mostly made of faucet abusers, which obviously kills their point.

True, a lot of time and work comes around the corner by running a faucets and it's just not working anymore for bitcoin.
You get so little as a faucet user as well as being an faucet owner, you just don't earn enough to even hold the faucet online.

Faucets is fun when you are starting to know about bitcoin maybe in one day you can earn 10 cents or more and with that you will be happy.  After that you will feel sad that is waste of time. So yeah, but is still profitable for people who want to learn.

In some cases is not that profitable, doing it free is just pain in the ass. If I had a army I would just tell them to do faucets every day.
Like maybe 20 person doing faucets with your referral you can earn a lot in one day. Buy I don't think is profitable if you are doing with your own. Just do some altcoins and trade it. Is more profitable in my opinion.

it is just depend on you how to gain their attention and gain their trust and how you maintain your faucet payments

And a lot of faucet still running until now because they make quite big profit from advertisement
