Hi,
I have a question regarding your own BTC faucet. Is it profitable to run it in 2017?
I was thinking to run it via WordPress.
What initial investment is needed?
it depends on how many advertisement you have on your Bitcoin Faucet and how many people are going to use your faucet but I don't know what number of visit is needed for you to consider it profitable and as far as I know many users are nowadays are not getting interested to use a faucet so probably it is not going to work successfully unless you will offer a good reward different than other faucet sites .
You're right, in order for this project to be profitable, you need to attract a lot of advertisers. In addition, you need to come up with a good environment that will attract users
