I 'm starting a business technology. Build custom Web site and / or custom software depending on customer needs. Our target customers are business owners. Where should I advertise to reach these people? There are any cable-related business or any magazines or newspapers that were relevant.

I have some software that is designed for real estate developers and I have share it with some to get some feedback and see if there has been any value. The response was very positive and I was told repeatedly that they would be willing to pay for the software. To be clear, toe software is tied into my site so I am able to maintain who is using it and whether they are permitted to use it.

In short, here is what I am considering.
-I could sell the software individually

-I could sell the software on a subscription basis

-I could give the software away free, build up a massive base of customers, and make money via advertising or just selling the company (the youtube strategy I suppose).

Taking the 3rd approach, if I was able to get up to 100,000 users, how is the company evaluated?
To be more specific, I can totally understand how to evaluate thins on the first 2 approached, but if I am trying to just get as much exposure as possible with the 3rd approach, I am not sure how the business world evaluates business in this manner.

Aside from just selling advertising, if I had 100,000 users and wanted to consider selling the company (what youtube did only on a significantly smaller scale) what should I use to predict future value in my business plan?

Thanks in advance.
