Selling my web business, any advice?

[peacemaker]

Hi guys,

I've built up a decent business online, it's pretty passive except for new product development and I'm not sure I have the right skill set to take it to the next level. I'm more of a software guy, not a marketer and I think it's time to sell what I've got so far and try the next thing. (note, I am learning as much as I can about marketing but I'd like to apply these things to a totally new concept).

Does anyone here know of a good way to sell an online software business like this? I'd rather avoid Flippa and the like as people on there just offer low-ball amounts and are often clueless about stuff like this.

I'm also slightly concerned this could seem like "quitting" the fastlane. I don't think it is though, I think I've built a good asset up and would like to extract the capital from it to move onto my next venture.

Sorry for the long post but any advice or thoughts about this are much appreciated!
