WOOD RIVER, Ill., April 1, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/- YTB International, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: YTBLA) ('YTB' or the 'Company'), a provider of Internet-based travel booking services for travel agencies and home-based independent representatives in the United States, Bermuda, the Bahamas, and Canada, today announced its financial results for the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2007.

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007 increased 177% to $141.3 million, compared to $50.9 million for the previous year. While only the commissions arising from RTAs' booking of travel services booked on the RTAs' websites are reflected as a component of the Company's revenues, YTB also keeps track of the aggregate retail value of all travel services that are sold by its RTAs' websites (which directly impacts commission revenues). The value of such travel services increased 84% in 2007 to $414.5 million, from $225.7 million in 2006.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3.2 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($6.0) million, or ($0.07) per diluted share, for the 2006 fiscal year.

Stockholders' equity as of the 2007 year end increased by $19.3 million or 958%, to $17.3 million from a ($2.0) deficit as of the end of fiscal 2006.

'2007 was a banner year for YTB. During the year we more than doubled the size of our network of RTAs to approximately 131,000 strong in addition to reporting three consecutive profitable quarters,' stated Scott Tomer, Chief Executive Officer of YTB. 'As our company grows, so does the attention we have gained within the travel industry. Over the past year we have received praise for our energy and industry-changing business strategy from leading travel companies and organizations. However, not surprisingly, we have also attracted criticism from those companies with whom we indirectly and directly compete. We challenged these critics by concentrating on our business and making YTB one of the most successful travel service companies around. Moving into 2008, we see no signs of slowing down, as we expanded our services into Canada.'

'We have established a strong network of contacts within the travel world, which have led to significant agreements that have expanded the scope of our travel business. Most recently, we announced an exclusive partnership with Shanghai Spring International Travel Service and Mandarin Voyages to market and sell European tour packages, including trips to France, Germany, Belgium and Holland. These agreements expand our RTAs' ability to offer fun, unique travel options,' stated, J. Kim Sorensen, CEO of YTB Travel Network, a wholly- owned YTB subsidiary. 'We are very proud of these efforts and look forward to helping more RTAs find success through selling travel.'

Some dreams can be very unrealistic. Let discus realistic dreams.

Some people dream about Love, Home, Exotic vacations, Owning their own Business or even Financial Freedom.

But, what are we doing to achieve our dreams? Excuses, Excuses, Excuses… “I have no time”  “no money” “No skills” 

Insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing year after year and expecting a different result.

All these excuses and living your life like a lab mice running on spinning wheel never getting a head, “eventually Kills your dreams”.

It is not all our fault. We were taught by our parents and elders to finish school get a good job work hard and one day you will be successful. Now we know that this is not entirely true.

If you do not have resources, you need to become resourceful. Instead of say "I can't afford it." You must to say, "How can I afford it?" When we said, "I can't afford it" our minds were turned off and went to sleep. When we asked ourselves, "How can I afford it?" our minds, our greatest resource of all, were turned on and put to work.

If you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. You have to believe you have the right stuff and that you are able to make it happen.  

You must believe in yourself and follow your dream!

When I say slave I mean slave to your clock.

 Are you tired of waking up early every morning & going to work each day needing more sleep?  

Are you tired of going to lunch when they tell you to be hungry?

Do you have to ask for permission to go to the doctor or take your child to the doctor?

Are you tired of not having enough time to spend with your family and the ones you love?

Are you tired of having someone else decide how much money you make or how much vacation you take each year? 

 Are you tired of giving up the best years of your life to your job?

Would you like to be paid what you are worth?

Would you like to wake up when you are finish sleeping?

 Would you like to take Vacation whenever you like?

Would you like to work on your schedule & your terms?
