Sitepoint website sales. Also, this is not good: Our traffic has hit up to 75,500 monthly visitors, averages 40,000 but currently is at 6,000.
I know. Should I take it out or leave it in for full disclosure?
Leave it in for full disclosure.
A buyer would like to know that, with some media events, you can drive a spike of 75k visitors. A buyer might have some new ideas about how to keep them coming back.

#13Wow, your bounce rate is amazingly low. That is a sign to me that your site is high in value. Too bad I don't have the funds.
Good luck with the auction.

#14It is nicely done. If I may ask, what does it cost to run each month? What was your business plan for making money from the site?
I would try to sell it directly to a likely buyer. It seems like a music school, a foundation, or independent label might be interested in purchasing this as a platform.

On AWS it costs less than $200 a month to run.
Cherrypeel’s revenue was planned to come from a variety of sources;
-Selling music through iTunes,
-A for fee service to help bands get their songs listed on iTunes and other online music stores (Tunecore.com),
-Selling advertising space,
-Receiving sponsorship of specific events and competitions on Cherrypeel,
-Selling ‘sponsored artist’ spots to artist to help them self-promote,
-Future premium pay services for artists/record labels and content providers.

More importantly, in one place you say the 75,500 figure is uniques and in another you say its page views. Which is it?

Whatever someone is willing to pay.
Do you have a ballpark figure? Is your decision to sell based on the work load or is it financial? Thanks!
We don't have the time to dedicate to it. If someone has the ability to attract traffic to the site, I believe there is lots of potential to scale.
I am sure I'll be setting a reserve for the auction but until I figure out what the market is willing to pay for the site, I can't give you a ballpark.
