Is it profitable to run a Bitcoin faucet in 2017

[buharikx31]

yes if the rewards is higher than every other faucet sites, you can also promote your faucet site like some weekly raffles to users , I myself sometimes visiting faucets with high rewards or having some jackpot bonuses to users it will attract more visitors.

one people that makes users happy to visit a faucet site because the faucet is have a great reward and a simple design and minimalist. so do not put too much ads if you want to get a lot of users

The hardest part, to make your own faucet, is to invastigate a lot of resources on advertising. To build a new faucet that's not a big deal , the most difficult side of that work is to promote and bring people to your site.

I think the hardest thing in running a faucet is to keep the bots out.
Bots steal your money and they create bad traffic. That reduces your already low income from ads, because nearly nobody wants to pay for bad traffic.
In my eyes faucets are a failed experiment.

Newbies are really happy when they are visiting faucet and getting satoshi on it and then uses that into gambling hahaha this is my attitude when i was a newbie i was remembered what i just did. Faucet that has good reward good affliate program can gain visitors to earn on faucet websites.

you are kinda right about it, but in order to attract people onto your website you need to have a decent pay rate and for that you need to put a lot of ads in the website and if there will be a lot of ads people won't like it, that's like a vicious circle.

[phr0stbyt3]

In the last year maybe faucets could keep profitable, nowadays without adsense support, its hard to pay well and keep the claimers interested and active. But there are few bitcoin networks paying with bitcoin, there are too many rules and restrictions, and you have one extra problem bots, soo to have a good faucet you will need around 0,25-1 btc to start and try to keep alive, since you are competing with others and you need to balance income with payouts, but if you lucky you can maybe earn 0,05-0.10 btc montly.

Yeah that's right adsense was the main source of income but there's nothing we can do now. In order to start your faucets you may need minimum investment of 2 btc and I would recommend you to pay 50-70 saroshi every 5-10 min as that will give you more views to your ads. And in terms of network until you don't reach 100k alexa rank you will mostly be in loss after that you can apply for melow ads.

The thing is that looks impossible to keep such reward for tinny time, long faucets wont pay more then 200-400 satoshis daily, but people wont use them if they can earn 800 daily with those 4-10 minutes rewards, but the faucet will die instead keep sharing health. Faucets wont resist further atleast is the way i see those, the gold moments has gone for admin and supporters.

I understand i was just giving an idea and if you see in long run it may work or it won't work at all. If a site gives this much of course many users will visit the site or let's change the time to every 20 min. When many people will visit you can get some good rates for advertising. But i do agree with you that faucets are dead even the famous ones, and after google adsense i think it is technically over for them.

[veleten]

are you planning to use 99's wordpress plugin for your faucet?
his plugin is great.but now you will have to adjust the payout almost everyday
bitcoin is volatile as hell and we never know what happens 9th of March,it could go either way
starting a faucet in such an unstable environment is not advised

yes you can make some profit from a faucet still,but you MUST have adsense on your site,
otherwise your earnings will be substantially reduced-bitcoin ad networks cannot cut it yet (unless you can bring hundreds of thousands visitors to your site)
in general faucets don't bring enough money to be a source of income and take up loads of time to maintain

Yes, just need some costs, but then it will generate passive income. The main interest of advertisers, who will place ads on the site.

Hi,

I have a question regarding your own BTC faucet. Is it profitable to run it in 2017?
I was thinking to run it via WordPress.
What initial investment is needed?

Yes it is very much profitable for the community like me who is a beginner only. I don't have any idea about in word press, just the things I know which is much profitable was to save some bitcoin for now then do the trade and buy some few altcoin.

i have several faucet sites few years ago , it was full of benefit . you got a good audience and also better ads rates with tiny amount only as a capital , really worth that time . but nowadays i don't know if the situation remain the same , even with the higher bitcoin price , the faucet owner might have to adjust the rewards from faucet. really have no idea if there is still a lot of people interested in faucet?

Most of those who visit these faucet sites are relatively new users. Experienced users seldom visit these sites, as they know that doing so is a waste of time and effort. So if Bitcoin is able to attract a lot of new users, then the faucet owners will be able to earn more money. If not, they will never get ROI.

Agreed. But Bitcoin is attracting more and more new users these days, so IMO faucet sites, especially if they are original in a way, might become very popular and thus bring money to the owners.

[lienfaye]

Yes it is profitable for the owner many newbies visiting faucet site because its free and easy to earn small btc. just make an idea that can attract more visitors and if you can afford put high rewards to make them come back by your special features.

[Carlsen]

There was a time when I visited faucets a lot, and even had one of those scripts ready to launch.
But I decided finally not to activate it.
The reason was because I saw so many others fail. From What I can remember, their faucets were drained by hackers over and over again.
I would be surprised to hear if a method was found that keeps the hackers out, but still leaves the faucet easy to use for the customers.
So no, I don't think there is profit in faucets at this time.

[bryant.coleman]

Agreed. But Bitcoin is attracting more and more new users these days, so IMO faucet sites, especially if they are original in a way, might become very popular and thus bring money to the owners.

The recent spike in the prices is attracting a lot of media attention. Media attention means that a large number of new users are now starting to collect Bitcoins. Now for those who don't want to buy Bitcoins with their fiat, the only option is to get these coins from various faucets (they may not be aware of the other options such as sig campaigns).

Yeah, you are right, faucet has a lot of attraction on it. Because in the start, i also did faucet, and i see every newbie do faucets, and as i know faucet's owner always get profit, but he need more users, so make advertise to get more users. 

[Jannn]

just make an idea that can attract more visitors and if you can afford put high rewards to make them come back by your special features.

High rewards will help but you must prioritize first the promotions.
Promotions will help Bitcoin faucet attract more members to come on the site and  can gain more traffic to the site.

[Decoded]

No, its not, unless you're a great businessman and have a web designer willing to keep your site up to date with the best anti-bot scripts available without making your site horrible to use. Bots are the death of these sites. There are already so many, and it's really hard to compete with sites like freebitco.in which have such a big userbase and bankroll.

[DoublerHunter]

Yes it is profitable to run bitcoin faucet in 2017 because there still a lot of bitcoin users who uses faucet sites in terms of addition to their earnings. Make sure that you have a stable website and you are paying such a decent amount of bitcoin to sustain the loyalty of your bitcoin faucet users.

It still profitable to run faucet, you can convert visitor to get revenue as long as it's not anoying for your visitor. Especially if you can give reward for faucet miner depend on some indicator, for example if you have huge visitor you will give more reward for faucet miner.

[cramcram21]

Yeah as long as there will be a huge number of visitor,
We all know that the owner would only earn through the visitors of the site.
