Normally web apps like this would change hands at around 3x annual earnings, so OP has built the equivalent of more like $18,000, which is still impressive!

I've seen many being sold at 5x profit, which is not 5x earnings in general but in this case is close to it.

It's a good point, but I think they're talking about lifetime value rather than current value.
