Topic: Realistically how much do people make off bitcoin faucets? - page 2. (Read 2945 times)
You can't get too much from faucets. This is very clear. But from other hand ... these Satoshi is for free, right just one click and type something. Why not try if there is nothing to do.
Is it profitable enough to put your time into it? From what I see you get maybe a couple cents, then you have to wait to withdraw until you have so many. I'm just wondering how much people make off of these.
I never used faucets cause it's waste of time, i can make much more bitcoins doing some other things than wasting time on faucets. 
1.07 what?
Faucets are a shocking waste of life but it's easy to forget about coutnries with lower costs of living. Faucets are still shit but sig campaigns may well add up to a respectable income for some.

totally true... 1.07 It is not something I could sustain but I suppose with referrals it could be less tiresome. Given that most of the third world is accessing the internet through phones they could definitely do the apps. The Wheel of Bitcoin app by xapo is great. You can get a bonus round up to 5 times a day with a max win of 32,000 satoshis. I calculated that a person could feasibly do 150,000/day satoshis just from that one app.
Also, if a person truly believes that Bitcoin is going to rise in value then it is more about how many satoshis you are grabbing rather than current price.
Call me crazy

The OP is referring to collecting from faucets, not running one.
There are some great faucets out there now and a couple of great phone apps by the devs at Xapo. I tried a test and was diligent about claiming from 2 apps and a couple desktop faucets and made 1.07 for the day. I dont have the time to do that everyday but if someone is in a third world country that is a lot of money. They could feasibly make 20-30 a month and then adding a signature campaign they could gradually collect some bitcoin.
OP do a little research and find the best faucets and it may be worth it to you.

I guess it is relative as a faucet user if you "profit" or not. If you are already on the computer, and do not value your time....any amount greater than 0 is profiting. You will not get rich by a long shot....but thats not what faucets are for anyways.
If you are a faucet operator and have an adsense account, you can profit, but still not much(by American standards). One of the problems with running a faucet is most of your traffic will come from countries that adsense does not really care about, 20 unique clicks from Indonesia can net as little as $0.20 total(0.01/click). Another issue you run into is fraudulent adsense activity. A lot of users will think they are doing you a favor by clicking on ads repeatedly, but this just shows as invalid activity in your adsense account.....and if too much of it happens they will shut down your account and ban you for the future.

i did alot of faucet shit on my android (3 in total) and some faucet things on my computer and i can say its not worth it way to much time spent making cents yes cents! 
While the price of BTC is low with good rotator you could earn some money,but today faucets pay low reward and low referral comission.Maybe if you have lot of referrals you can make something.But if you play with free.bitco there is a possibility that each week won nice reward,first prize last week was 3 BTC 
Thats a pitty, i was half planning on looking into creating a faucet in the hope that there was some way to make money from running them with ads but after reading the comments im actually not sure why anyone bothers running one at all other than just to promote bitcoin to new poeple.
It's not worth it, at all. Even with a HUGE amount of ads on the faucet, you'll probably still earn nothing. It's just a waste of time.
The amount of time you should put in to achieve these low rewards is very ineffective. You would be better off just providing your skills directly for bitcoins.
You can check out these sites BTC List and BTC Rotator and decide for yourself if it's worth it. The list is updated at least weekly so most of the faucets should work and the rotator run through should be pretty smooth.

No, don't waste your time. Some bitcoin related sites and blogs have installed faucets as a way to increase traffic, the more common way is just to give away some Satoshis to get you on their mailing list.
Won't profit because electricity & internet connection price will take everything you got from faucet.
This, except the undeniable fact is that 99% of all faucet users are kids in their home who want a couple bucks - so they don't pay attention to that as much.
Okay, OP, I'll sum it all up for you.
If you want to go solo and make all your profits come from directly the faucet (no referrals), then a couple cents a day will be a profitable day to you.
If you get a ton of referrals for yourself - and I mean a TON, like 5,000+ - then you'll make a couple bucks a day. But this requires lots of time and lots of work, which just isn't worth it.
If you operate a faucet, it *might* be profitable to you, but only if you use Google AdSense because they pay around 10x the other networks - especially bitcoin advertising networks.
Faucets are probably useful to check out new wallets, but as a source of earnings, they seem to offer very low returns for your time.
If you get a shitload of money or if you are rich, the bread crumbs given to people from faucets would be a waste of time. You can get much more from doing other tasks for
fiat and then buying bitcoins. I enjoy experimenting with faucets and seeing how creative people can get with them. I like Freebitco.in the most because they incorporated a
donation idea I suggested to them. {People donate some of their faucet income to Save the Children charity} There are better ways to make money... but it's still fun getting
free money from strangers. {Some faucets used to pay full bitcoins, when it started and look what it's worth now... imagine the same thing happening to the few Satoshi's
they are handing out today}

It's a waste of time unless you are the owner of the faucet and you get tons of traffic, other than that it's just pointless. Sig campaigns pay better but don't expect much, it's also a waste of time in the long term. You need to work for real money.
I will answer realistically and go straight to the point, I would be VERY surprised if you could make $1-2 per week. If you make that kind of money then it means you would have like 20 tabs opened in your browser all the time and remember when to claim from each. The best way would be using those faucets that pay big daily or semi-daily.
Faucets are only profitable if you can get tons of referral to double or triple your work to max out the satoshi you can get from it. Also if you can operate a bot then maybe someone could get atleast around 0.005 to say that you can earn decent from it.
As a user, the trick is to have the most referrals you could so your earnings will continue to grow even though you don't use yourself but in case your stuck with yourself only then you could earn around $1 within 8 to 10 hours so you shouldn't expect much but it would be good as an extra money in the end of each month if your consistent in using it.
