In March 2017 I started 3D's Bitcoin List with the intentions of having a place to put all the faucets I claim from everyday (4-6 times a day) in one place.
I enjoyed getting completely free web hosting from Google but they limit what I can do from their server. I thought the limitations wouldn't be a problem since the site i had was so small. Quickly I realized that without my own server Google won't let me run ads (Pop up & Pop Under) so I just used my referral banners. The first month I went from 3 pages to6 pages. Basically I added the following pages:
Cloud Miners
About
Affiliate Pool.
I sent out hundreds of emails, posted ads for my website and the affiliate pool separately. I had over 30 responses and in 30 days I gained 32 affiliate pool contracts! I was excited, got a mention in a online American Entrepreneur website! Yeah, '3dbtclist.com' was mentioned as a rising website for the high traffic rainy on but little did I realize that was short lived.
My first month was awesome, my second was not. The second 30 days I only received 5 new contacts in my affiliate pool, lost 3 banners from my pool and lost half my traffic flow. During this time I also increased my pages to account for an overflow affiliate pool and an Easter egg page. I worked more third month on finding new sites to list since there was a lost of sites (they was dropped for being scams or domain drops). My third month had a complete overhaul and Changed my buttons and site flow. I added more faucets, investments and bitcoin games then set up a bitcoin games section. I tried to gain traders to list on my site but none responded so i decided to just leave a traders section off my site. Now I'm between 2 & 3 weeks into my third 30 days and preparing for new content to drop over in next 2 weeks.
I never stop looking for more currency earning sites and ways so my site will continue to update. So check out my site everyday and earn free Bitcoins/Altcoins!
P.S.
I learned to not stop trying from this event.
