#14First, I commend you for doing something that you really enjoyed. That is great and must have taken a lot of sweat and hard work. Now, you want to sell this thing. This is where the issues start. You have not monetized it at all so technically it is not a business (no real revenue). Your best bet is to find someone who can use this to compliment something similar that they already do at a bigger scale and they are wi…
The valuation would not necessarily be determined by revenue only. Website traffic, page authority on Google, subscribers or users in general can be valuable to potential buyers.

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
They dont allow it on copyrighted music.
Isn't most classical music in public domain? (Asking sincerely.)
Much of the music is, but the recordings of many specific performances are not - and specific performances are often what listeners are interested in.

These have very little value until you've proven that this traffic, subscribers, and users won't go away the moment you try to monetize them.

#20Congratulations on the audience that you've built up. You've done an incredible job in attracting and retaining an audience based on a common interest.
Selling the project immediately likely won't give you the greatest value for the effort you've put into it simply because there is a lack of evidence on whether you're able to sell anything to the audience.
However, there is still some value in the audience, credibility and web properties and you can approach classical music promotion companies, etc. to see if they would be interested in taking it over.
If you collect data and have an insight into user preferences, this could add additional value but as what some have said, you'll likely get more money if you show that you can also sell to this audience.
