Travel As An Insider... Turning Fun Into FORTUNE!

Hello travelers and dreamers. I am Matthew, and I will be your Pay-cation specialist. Please feel free to roam about the cabin while we are in flight. And if you brought your business cap, you might want to keep it close to you.

If you are like over 99% of the people in this World, then you like to travel. And if you are booking your next vacation, you would do it online, right? You are doing the work of a travel agent... with out getting paid to do it.

Think about it. When you book a vacation from a faceless Fortune 500 company, you get a confirmation. We will show you how to get not only a confirmation, but a check for the travel you already take.

If you are going to travel anyway, wouldn't you rather travel as an INSIDER, with perks, tax benefits, upgrades and courtesies? It just makes sense, right?

We will show you what we believe is The Great Secret of Travel!

Operation Critical Mass... The Time Is Now!

Dr. Bob Seligman Investigates The YTB Opportunity

Dr. Bob Seligman has a PhD in Economics from Oxford and an MBA in Finance from Harvard. He is a former Senior VP of Corporate Development for Fox Inc where he reported directly to billionaire Barry Diller who is now the owner of Expedia, Orbitz, Hotels.com, and many other online businesses.

He is also a brand new RTA with YTB after doing VERY thorough research.

Here's what Dr. Seligman says about the research he did before he made a major commitment to his YTB business...

"All three of the critical criteria for business success have never existed in one place before YTB.... An opportunity of this magnitude has NEVER existed before. The greatest danger than I see is that it is too inexpensive... we all tend to value things based on what we pay for them... I have to remind myself every day that of all the projects on my desk, THIS is my priority. Don't make the mistake of underestimating this opportunity... an opportunity like THIS will NOT be coming along again in our lifetime."

"We are at a CRUCIAL TIME... just ahead of the greatest growth... CRITICAL MASS is approaching. It has taken YTB 6 years to get to 125,000 RTAs. We will arrive at 250,000 sometime in 2008.

That means that CRITICAL MASS is beginning, and when CRITICAL MASS happens, it will never ever happen again.

As a business consultant many clients have asked me about when to get into a new business. We have found that the time to enter any new business is at the inception of CRITICAL MASS... when the market goes from arithmetic growth to geometric growth.

That's when LEVERAGE is maximized. In this history of YTB, that time is RIGHT NOW!

This is a great company, and it will be a great company many years from now. But, I saw that in the future I will NOT have the opportunity to multiply my efforts 20 fold or even 100 fold like I do RIGHT NOW."

These articles show why we could be in for an exciting trip with YTB in the near and distant future. A future that seems to be brighter every day.

SUCCESS or SUCCESS From HOME... Magazines LOVE YTB!

YTB was featured not once, but twice in Success From Home... and now, Success Magazine

What does Robert Kiyosaki and YTB have in common?

Give up? It's Success... The Magazine!

That's right. The latest issue features Kiyosaki on the cover. And in the Special Edition of this magazine, YTB has a special supplement, as well as an audio CD with a Monthly Message from the founders. The article talks about how the travel industry has moved to the internet. This trend is not going away, and YTB realizes this fact. What YTB wants to do is bring personality back to travel. Who would you buy your travel from, Mom or Expedia... Mom wins every time!

Success From Home absolutely loves YTB! And for good reason. YTB keeps proving that they are among the best home based opportunities on the planet. YTB was featured in January 2007 and again in January 2008! This relationship has blossomed into a thing of beauty. Not only is YTB benefiting from the publicity, but Success From Home is selling these issues like hotcakes! They represent the YTB company and opportunity so well that they are often referred to as gold bricks by YTB RTAs and Reps. In fact, YTB believes so strongly in this magazine, that they have offered a $6000 guarantee. Do you know of another company that guarantees success like that?

YTB Cars Goes From Pilot To Full Launch!

YTB Offers New & Used Vehicles In All Makes and Models At Awesome Prices... and RTAs Get a Fat Commission Check!

Toyota? ... Got it!
Saab? ... Got it!
Volkswagen? ... Got it!
De Lorean? ... Yup!
Flux Capacitor? ... Not yet.

At YTB, the future is already here.

In fact, we as consumers are already doing it. Buying cars on the internet has already been established. YTB just wants to make the process more personal and cost effective at the same time. Nothing wrong with that, right?

But here's where YTB is going the extra mile (no pun intended). They are offering all makes and models, new and used, at below the sticker price. And that's not all. YTB also gives their Referring Travel Agents a commission of $300 per sale!

It wouldn't be surprising if YTB sells more cars than the largest dealership in America... in fact, it's just a matter of time.

Travel Weekly Recognizes J. Kim Sorensen of YTB

J. Kim Sorensen of YTB Named One of 33 Most Influential in Travel Industry

Congratulations are in order.

YTB's lovable CEO, J. Kim Sorensen, was named one of the most influential figures in the travel industry. The article was published by Travel Weekly.

Travel Weekly, in its November 20, 2007 article, states that the "most influential" list is filled with people who have veered from the status quo and succeeded so spectacularly that they have influenced the course travel is taking in 2007, and will be just as influential in 2008.

Here's how J. Kim Sorensen graciously responded:

"I am truly honored and humbled to be included on this list, especially since YTB is not about me, but about the great team and the huge network of representatives and referring travel agents that were willing to take a chance on a new way to sell travel. I speak for the entire company when I thank Travel Weekly for recognizing the huge potential of YTB."

This is wonderful news for YTB and its RTAs (Referring Travel Agents). YTB is growing at an alarming rate, and this article is evidence that YTB will be in for the long haul.

If you are still thinking about the possibility of becoming an RTA, this news should excite you into jumping on board. There has never been a better time to join the YTB family. There is only one way to go, and that is UP!

Travel Weekly's 2007 Power List named YTB the nation's 35th largest seller of travel and the 11th largest agency for primarily leisure travel for the year 2006.

Congratulations J. Kim Sorensen. You deserve it!

Word of Mouth vs. TV Ads

What does William Shatner and a Gnome have in common?

Expedia spent $182 million in TV and media advertising last year.

YTB spent $0 in TV and media advertising. Instead, YTB pays its Referring Travel Agents and Reps for Word of Mouth advertising.

When comparing Word of Mouth advertising and multi-million dollar TV advertising, it's not even close.

As far as effectiveness goes... Word of Mouth is the clear winner.

But, those high dollar TV ads are more memorable, right?

It just goes to show... TV ads have some entertainment value, but when it comes to overall consumer value, Word of Mouth, or Referral Marketing cannot be touched.
