Creating a new faucet

[Zoznoz]

Hey guys, I was thinking of making a new faucet. I wanted to know if it can be profitable, I was looking at publisher rates at some advertising services which only use BTC and it's something like 7c USD a click, so I wondered if people who ran faucets even turn a profit.

There are some other issues I have with this project as well. I don't have the skills to create the captcha verification & automatic payment script and I'm not sure how powerful a VPS I should have either, however bandwidth is not a problem with my provider. Thanks for reading, any help would be appreciated.

It can be profitable, but choose your advertisers carefully and fully read their TOS. For some ad networks (eg. Google AdSense) they may consider your ad placement as an "incentivised click" and cancel your account before you have a chance to get paid.

As for captchas, when I was runnning a faucet I opted for registered users instead of captchas (and got zero spam requests). BTW I did payouts manually too..
