Is it Profitable to run a GMOD Server?

i think is profitable if you make run the serveur for a long time

Yes, it for sure is but it all depends on the server and who is running it, if the staff team is good and server is nice and clean and if you have donator ranks such as VIP VIP+ MVP etc.. Then it will be very profitable for sure. Lots of people think that to get a lot of profit you need to have the most addons and the most expensive cool looking addons and stuff but that is not true there are/were many server which are/were very popular meaning they got lots of money from it for sure. Also as many people say dont think of it as a job because it is not a steady income all the time.. Think of it as extra money.

No, it's not viable to use servers as a way to gain profit. It just doesn't work, you won't get enough money.

the most profitable is a ttt inventory and a stable player base, i earned 500$ in 2 days for putting up a virtual ak47 as an incentive

The way you run a GMOD Server and the content it provides in the server will actually depict the outcome of the server

If you have great gamemode/content for players that will understand and enjoy you'll have a returning playerbase

If you have an administration team with rules in the server are set in stone where players will respect the rules and follow the concept, that will bring a good player base

If you have additional content for the server that would not be overpowered for non paying players and would just provide a small boost for paying players, that would be great

Yes. If you manage to get your server about 40+ players daily you can easily make around $500 a month if you have properly setup your server and it's donations.

How much can you make like, let's say in a month???

It's up to you actually. And it'stiring to control the community of a server.

I think that a gmod server does earn something but at start you would mostlikely build up. Income would probably be hard and most of the time you give money away for advertising or other things for your server.

If your good in it you can make even Money when you have a good Server
