I have been using faucets and they were my gateway into the bitcoin world. Faucets have now become less lucrative owning to the falling price of BTC (although, it can be argued that some faucets have increased their payouts with the price fall- case in point is freebitco.in). For me faucets are profitable only if you have a loyal bunch of affiliates who will use your ref link and do their thing every day, i built up a good referral list initially through some giveaways. Even if i don't do them myself, they do pay out some thing every week which typically takes care of my tx fees. All in all, if BTC rises and you have been collecting dust from faucets, that dust could be worth its weight in gold, but without a proper affiliate backing, making enough is always going to be a huge challenge. Good luck either ways! Edit: You might be better off getting into a signature campaign. Beware not to scam the boards though or you might get banned / negative feedback.

Hmm... to me it looked like they wanted to do faucets. I think more clarity needed from the OP. A newbie typically would ask if a faucet was profitable though. Lets wait for clarity.

He is obviously talking about making a faucet ''I know they use a lot of ads in order to get some money back''

I agree with most of comments here. Faucet can be profitable. You need nice layout, you need good hosting, you need some bitcoins to invest and you need some marketing. You can profit by ads. I saw many of faucets getting nice money monthly paid from ads. But also do not expect to gain a million. As it's named "faucet", you're giving a little, so you should expect a little profit. If more, better for you. As any project it needs a time. You cannot make it famous in a week. Invest and wait, but don't just wait, work on spreading a word about it to gain some visitors as you depend on them.

well , all he needs to do is have a website in similar colors as the black and blue dress and he'll get thousands of people visiting the website because they need to know the mystery of the color.

The profitability depends on a few factors. Your rewards, hosting, advertising for your faucet and advertising on your faucet etc. Chances are, from a faucet site alone you won't be rolling in the big bucks. From personal experience and other faucet owners I've talked to, profit mostly comes from referral programs on other faucets/GPT programs.

I can't tell you. I did a lot of "fauceting" in 2012 and I got a small amount of money, but this small amount of money grew in 2013. Now, I'm rich I have more money, but most of my BTC funds come from BTC works, so I recommend you to visit the services thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0Maybe You can find a small work for you, and You will earn more money.

If you can get a lot unique visitor from your faucet, most likely it will be profitable that's why some big faucet still online till now, they depend on ads (usually adsense from google) to pay their visitor be careful somebody will try to cheat you! they claim your faucet using bot and your deposit/wallet will drain quickly

I dont think thats possible because of captchas even if they use a captcha solver wont be worth it, am i wrong on this?

I think there are bot which can bypass captcha, especially simple captcha. i saw this on faucet owner's complain why their deposit in faucet drain quickly. That's why captcha change every period of time. To avoid this trick maybe

I have always thought of faucets being waste of time. They are obviously profitable, but not at all worth the time. Even running a faucet isn't much profitable anymore,as there already exist a lot of them , and not a lot of people now visit them .

Well , they are profitable if you hhave a good strategy to run them . Maybe you can offer the highest paying out faucet, and get more traffic. This way you will also get a higher views on the site for ads Yes that is a good idea and the idea of integrating a dice in the faucet itself its pretty good aswell

And in that strategy they also get back the amount that they giveaway in the faucet and are able to maintain the traffic on their site. Yes exactly, freebitco.in is one of the oldest faucets and they pay a good amount of bitcoins. Im planning to do one like that but maybe with some altcoin, but i dont know wich one
