The average monthly turnaround for a BTC faucet is 100K $
And you earn 30$ at best yearly.
Where would you get such information from? So a faucet earns "average" yearly
+1,000,000$? I want to know the sources of this statement.
Everyone would be in the business then, seen how easy it is to run a faucet.
The truth is that the "average" earning of a faucet is not more than 30% of what is being hand-out, in most cases.
You might be lucky to break even in the first months as a faucet owner; most faucet sites close after few weeks, since they're going towards a loss they either can't afford or don't believe it being worth of in the long run.
So then, the owner or owners of
http://faucet.bitcoinzebra.com have to share 1 BTC per month?
2014-11-16 Weekly payment run completed - over 359 million satoshi (3.59 BTC) paid out!
And
http://freebitco.in gets 869.6 BTC of the 2,898.7 BTC they have paid out.
This can become a full time job {$350 000} for some people.
Well yes, you are right: "for some people" - not everyone can be like them. There are tons of faucets out there and the vast majority of them doesn't earn that much (if anything at all).
Anyways just to clarify, the "30%" I'm talking about is just an estimation based on my relatively short experience.
Sites like the ones you mentioned are successful and earn a lot of money (I really wonder how much they're earning ONLY from adsense).
EDIT: That's faucet zebra's weekly payment, they'd get 4x what you said (if you rely on my estimate 30% - which I don't suggest) per month.
The earning of course depends on many factors.
I like how you hid referral links everywhere ahah
