Portfolio – Autobytel

Autobytel is one of the largest Internet resources connecting new and used car buyers with vehicles across the country.  The site also offers analysis, buying guides, industry news and in-depth information concerning a wide variety of different automobiles.

I am a regular contributor to Autobytel, both to the company’s weekly email newsletter which is sent to 3.5 million of subscribers on a weekly basis (a number which is up from the 250,000 subscribers when I began handling newsletter content for the site) and to its online Web content in the form of news and vehicle test drives and reviews.  I also have a weekly Rebates and Incentives roundup feature published by Autobytel, as well as a regular Five For Friday column which gathers my thoughts on five of the most interesting automotive stories of the past week.
