How to earn from your faucet

Now comes the fun part, which is how to make money from your faucet.

There are several methods we’re going to list:

• Use advertisements on your website: This is the most used method to make money with faucets.

When you place ads on the page, make sure they are clearly visible. Use large ad formats and try to position them where the user has the most opportunities to see them, such as near the request premium button.

• Use affiliate or referral links: This is another way to make money from your faucet.

Practical example: insert a link that says YOU DO NOT HAVE A BITCOIN WALLET? below the header box where the visitor must enter his bitcoin wallet address. You can use your referral link to Coinbase (if you have an account on Coinbase) which gives you the possibility to receive a commission if a visitor signs up and then buys Bitcoins on Coinbase.

How to get more traffic toward your faucet

It is impossible to generate a large amount of revenue from your faucet without a significant amount of traffic. Having a low-cost conversion traffic for your faucet will be the hardest thing to do

We can give you some indications:

Subscribe to the most popular faucet rotators to get your faucet on their list, such as iFaucet and Makejar.com. These two sites have incredible traffic, and if you manage to get your faucet to the top of their list, you will have a lot of money.

Give visibility to your faucet also on Faucetpay.

Create a discussion on BitcoinTalk to advertise your faucet. The idea is to have a place where you can post updates on your faucet or have for example “flash hours” where you offer prizes a little higher so as to get more traffic.

Add social buttons to your faucet to allow users to share it with their referral link.

You can find faucets that have been closed and buy them. So you can redirect their website traffic to your faucet. This method works for a specific time, remember this. Many users when they realize that the original site is no longer active give up passing to others, so you will see a drop in traffic.

The best way to get traffic to your faucet is to give higher rewards, even if your expenses increase.

Protect your faucets from scammers

When you’re the owner of a faucet, you’re fighting a constant battle against spammers, bots and hackers who will try to steal Bitcoins from your faucet. Spammers usually use a VPN or proxy to change their IP and claim the satoshi from the faucet without having to wait for the end of time. Bots can be used to visit your faucet, and automatically claim the satoshi and leave you without income. Hackers could hack your site and steal all the amounts of coins deposited on the faucet.

Fortunately, the Bitcoin community has created different solutions to slow down the attacks. The devised methods have been composed of various BitcoinTalk threads and are continuously updated.

DO NOT DEPOSIT MORE THAN YOU MAY ALLOW TO LOSE

It may seem obvious, but it must be said. Large quantities of Bitcoin satoshi should not be stored in the faucet. In this way, whoever enters your faucet and manages to claim many Bitcoins, more than he deserves, will reach a point that the faucet will no longer have funds. Try to deposit satoshi for a week and check the balance on a fixed day such as Sunday.
