Don't slip quietly into the night. Have Fun! You Can't Take It With You! But You Can Acquire Accredited Car Guy Status From A Partnership Investment Made In The Auto Channel® Team

For more than 25 years The Auto Channel®, the Internet's original interactive editorial automotive web site has published what many consider the web's best independent editorial automotive information, shopper research and entertaining auto content, with the opportunity for much more.

The Auto Channel was created, designed, maintained, managed and produced by tribal elders, its contributors are by far the web's most experienced team of writers, producers, engineers, video producers, artists and conceptualizers of any commercial web site in the world.

To a person our team members love what The Auto Channel allows them to do and loves what it does for them. We'll bet you don't feel the same way about your retired life. What a shame...

But The Auto Channel can change that. We have reached the point of needing a Buyer or better an active investor partner to join us in the fun of creating and producing more of our wonderful automotive content...content that we plan to monetize by licensing it to thousands of Digital Shift local auto dealers, thereby replacing our historic advertising revenue that a Covid 19 "new normal" can generate in our near term traditional digital publishing future.

And If you need a traditional ROI rationale for investing in The Auto Channel, an ROI of more than just energizing your life, while having fun now while you are able to...here it is.

CarMax, America's number one used car dealer recently purchased Edmunds for 450 Million bucks to guarantee them an ongoing source of proprietary editorial content and shopper research tools to compete more aggressively for site viewers with local car dealers. They know that in the future the buying and selling of vehicles and automotive services digitally will need to competitively match consumer's web site expectations. Shoppers and researchers will respond positively to “full service” sticky automotive web sites that deliver deep, relevant and helpful information to enhance their user experience. A total end-to-end on-line encounter that meets expectations of both desirable transactional and relevant original (expensive to produce) editorial.

According to Bill Nash, CarMax president and CEO: "Edmunds proprietary content, comprehensive automotive market insights and streamlined user experience across the car buying and selling journey will allow us to deepen our engagement with customers shopping online."

But unlike the Edmunds content which will be used to directly compete with local dealers, The Auto Channel envisions its 26 years of content becoming a competitive element in thousands of local individual dealership web sites, just one dealer per brand per market at a low monthly subscription fee.

The Edmunds deal has set the bar for the valuation of similar automotive content and research sites. After 26 years of self-funding we understand that in order to fund new initiatives and maintain The Auto Channel we must adjust our financial thinking and recognize that unlike in the past we can't generate sufficient capital from our ad driven business model.

An Auto Channel partnership will recharge your batteries and put some zoom zoom back in your tank by training you to become an integral part of our editorial and management team.
