What is the valuation for a non-subscription, one-time fee, web application (like Bingo Card Creator) as a multiple of monthly revenue?

Rob Walling writes about this in Start Small, Stay Small ( http://www.startupbook.net/ ), and I think he mentions a range of 5x - 36x monthly revenue. It's dependent a lot on how automated and easy to maintain the site is, and how high the quality of traffic and revenue is.

I've researched this as well, and followed a fair number of auctions on Flippa, and although as Rob says, the range is very broad, multiples follow a bell curve, with most in the 12x-18x monthly net revenue range.

Missed Connections http://www.missedconnections.com - site with traffic Umbrella.co.uk - domain Wallet.co.uk - domain Towel.co.uk - domain If you're interested in any of these email me via my contact details at jetbootlabs.com and please demonstrate in your email that you're a serious buyer to get a reply. Time has shown the majority of enquiries are domainer lowballers so I'm inclined to ignore most interested parti…

I'm a random developer/sysadmin so when I see something that is interesting I offer as much as seems reasonable to me.

Then I receive responses saying, "Sorry I was looking for £10,000".

It really does help if people give an idea of the figure they're searching, even if just a lower-bound.

http://isitnormal.com - Active community. > 1M visitors a month. A bit of recurring revenue from premium subscriptions and from ads. Lots of untapped potential here. I just don't have the time to give it the attention it deserves anymore. Custom python/django code, running very efficiently on AWS. Email me if you're interested in buying. Thanks.

I'm very interested in your site. Please contact me at stmetivier at gmail.

I made http://imdo.in about 4 months ago - It lets you easily import everything from all your social profiles and have them displayed on one page. I would consider offers for either just the domain or both the domain and code. (anything around $50 works)

Did someone purchase it already?

Filmpage ( https://www.filmpage.com ). Inspired by Louis CKs digital distribution, I built Filmpage to enable other artists to create a similar page to publish and sell their film with a simple website builder. Was accepted in to a top incubator to go at it full-time, had to turn it because of a prior engagement. Email in my profile.

How much?
