I think it is if it got a apropriate payout, and if you promote it accordingly it should work out for you

If he is promoting his faucet in those people who are already earning a good income from here then no one will join his faucet because I know faucet owners give much less to the members but if he start to promote among those people who are low earner at PTC and GPT sites then they may take interest in that faucet.

That is commonsense. People who earn good salary from elsewhere will be least interested in the faucets, as they are a waste of time and effort. But newcomers to the Bitcoin scene will be interested in them, as they have very few other avenues to earn BTC.

As much as they're worthless for users, they can be profitable now since there are a lot of new people interested in bitcoin. It will be profitable as long as there are new people coming.

Its not only about having new people coming to the site but also people who will stay and still use your site. Having a well planned layout will make your faucet site successful from having thresholds it will make claimers claim all the time just to reach the goal which means more traffic, also having a referral system will work as long as it won't run dry your faucet. Goodluck many faucet sites fail within a month because of not having a good strategy.

Faucets have been really unsure about whether or not they are profitable or not, it is all depending on the owner if he is willing to offer his time and effort into promoting his faucet so people could use his faucet, then he could make profit out of it, but that is not easy, and don’t expect to earn a lot if you are not willing to work hard for it.

Yes, it seems we need to manage many things so that we could make profits from the faucets. So far I just remained a faucet user after seeing many useful suggestions on this topic, I believe I also could become a faucet owner. In my view, owning a faucets also a good business if we perfectly manage them.

it will always be lucky if you have a good strategy to attract a number of users of the Internet. Well, there are always new users in the world bitcoin, and it will make them look for bitcoin from all sites faucet. you just need to make them choose the Website.

why not make something constructive?
you are already spending your time and money on this, and in the end you are left with something useless that people barely use and if they do, they want to exploit it or use once and never come back.
so instead try to spend that time and money to build a website that offers something that brings people back, is constructive and makes you real amount of money not just dust.

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, of course. It's profitable until now because of the demand for bitcoin. You must know how to handle your bitcoin faucet and know how to manage it to get a good feedback from others. I don't know yet the initial investment but you must do a research about it.  You have a fruitful mind so use it for the goods, not for bad. Ask for those people who run their bitcoin faucet.

IMO, bitcoin value is on high value which I'm think too risky if you want to launch faucet at the moment. You should wait until bitcoin value decreased or you need to re-calculate your initial fund to operate the faucet. In mean time, many people at my place is yelling about faucet ( unfair value )

[Mersedes]

It seems to me that it is not very profitable right now. Bitcoin price is very high and few advertisers will agree to pay in that currency. Besides, now a lot of these sites, and a lot of competition. There is no guarantee that you will have visitors

There are other things to make an opportunity to have a bitcoin and with the high price like this, people will surely ignore those micro earnings in faucets and began studying those methods that can give them a good return of bitcoin that will be worth their time.

Only faucets that is running and operating for a long time now is the one who are making good money today since they already established a good name in the world of bitcoin faucet.

I think yes its profitable to have own faucet. Maybe you need more budget from that because creating a own site is very expensive and you need to learn it first before you go in that way. Faucet better now because bitcoin is very high.

Running a bitcoin faucet for really profitable last year and if you compare that it is not that worth because you cannot monetize with google as it was the main source of revenue but you can still create and try with the limited advertisement but it wont be that profitable like we once had.

[CyberKuro]

A faucet can always be profitable for a owner if he knows how to run it. All you need are visitors to your faucet and it should probably attract them so that they should come back again. And as told earlier by someone, set a threshold of quite high amount so that they come again every time to reach the threshold before getting their bits so that they don't run away after coming 2, 3 times.

I think so, do not set a threshold at measly satoshi too to attract more faucets hunter (newbies). If you get higher traffic on your site everyday, than some ads will be more beneficial obviously. Any kind of great effort on internet will be profitable in my opinion as long as you are serious maintain it.

I think it is profitable, because newbies usually don't do the math and Bitcoin is a new technology, so there are many newbies. They see something for free and take it, even if it's a worthless penny.
This means a faucet can get a lot of traffic and traffic is money. You can use the site to advertise or simply wait for it to gain value over time and sell it.

By looking @the current price of bitcoin it seems not a good idea to run faucet  ..
Because the ads will not give enough to recover your investment

[Pattart]

to be the site of faucets famous and profitable you need to get a lot of visitors and to get it you have to make your site known. Of course you have to work hard doing promotions, etc.

But it is quite hard to make money from faucet sites due to these high bitcoin prices. Becuase you give 100 Santoshi or less for each claim many people will not go to those faucets but if you pay more than that then site owners can't make a profit. It is not so easy just with faucet site to earn money but if you can add some games to it then may be profitable.

Well the site and ads will depends on your faucet balance and how many accumulated faucet claimers / visitors in your site. So it all depends on your faucet site claimers to gain profits . Its more ideal if you have a big network or rather than a faucet site built a more applicable site that visitors may have an interest like Altcoin wallets storage or bitcoin exchanges .

I think faucets time is pass. If u can, make gambling site. Chess, Backgammon, rummikub i didnt see those games bet for btc. There r lots of dice games, sports betting, lottery but Chess, Backgammon and rummikub isnt.

Also people can spend lots of times in site with these games. If i can i will not wait a second. You can have more profit then faucet. I think lots of people tired for faucets. Dont add new one.
