Item 1.  Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Statement of Beneficial Ownership dated January 18, 2005 (the “Original Statement”), relates to the common stock, par value $.001 per share (“Common Stock”) of YTB International, Inc., a Delaware corporation whose principal executive offices are One Country Club View Drive, Edwardsville, IL 62025. YTB International, Inc. was formerly known as REZconnect Technologies, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Issuer”). The CUSIP number for the Issuer’s Common Stock has changed from 297868101 to 98425R101 as a result of the Issuer’s name change and jurisdiction of incorporation since the date of filing of the Original Statement.

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by J. Lloyd Tomer (“Lloyd Tomer”), Great River Enterprises, LP #1, an Illinois partnership (“Great River”) (J. Lloyd Tomer is the sole stockholder of a corporation that is the general partner of Great River), J. Scott Tomer (“Scott Tomer”) and J. Kim Sorensen (“Sorensen”) (collectively Lloyd Tomer, Great River, Sorensen and Scott Tomer shall be referred to herein as the “Reporting Parties” and each a “Reporting Party”) in connection with the November 22, 2006 receipt by the Reporting Parties of an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest with respect to 5,953,016 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, as described further below, and to update other changes in the Reporting Parties’ beneficial ownership since the date of the Original Statement.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Pursuant to an exchange of stock transaction, the Reporting Parties originally received Common Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Issuer in exchange for all of their shares of common stock, no par value (“YTB Common Stock”) of Yourtravelbiz.com, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“YTB”). The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was subsequently converted into Common Stock of the Issuer in January 2005. As a result of subsequent events described below in Item 4, the Reporting Parties were granted on November 22, 2006 an irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest with respect to 5,953,016 additional shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, for which non-cash consideration was paid.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

Pursuant to the Amended Merger and Stock Exchange Agreement dated November 19, 2004 (the “Exchange Agreement”) by and among the Issuer, YTB and the stockholders of YTB, the stockholders of YTB (including the Reporting Parties) acquired both Common Stock and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of YTB Common Stock (such shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were subsequently converted into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis in January 2005). As a result of the transaction (the “Exchange Transaction”), the stockholders of YTB acquired slightly more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company as of the time of the Exchange Transaction.

In connection with the consummation of the Exchange Transaction, Michael Brent and Derek Brent (the “Brent Parties”) who were stockholders, Directors and executive officers of the Issuer prior to such consummation; the Reporting Parties (excluding Lloyd Tomer individually, (the “Tomer Parties”)) and the Issuer entered into that certain Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of December 8, 2004 (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), in order to provide for consistent and uniform management of the Issuer, to regulate certain of the rights of the Brent Parties and the Tomer Parties in connection with their interests in the Issuer, and to restrict under certain circumstances the sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the shares of Common Stock held by the Brent Parties and the Tomer Parties.

From the time of the Exchange Transaction until the present time, the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Brent Parties that are subject to the Stockholders Agreement has diminished by 270,250 shares, and the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Tomer Parties (and by J. Lloyd Tomer individually) that are subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement has diminished by 2,245,000 shares.

As a result of developments subsequent to the Exchange Transaction, which relate to a grant of parity to Michael Brent in certain compensation structures which are owned by the Reporting Parties (except for Great River) and other non-cash consideration (as discussed in the exhibit filed herewith), the Brent Parties (along with Darren Brent, a family member of the Brent Parties and stockholder of the Issuer) agreed on November 22, 2006 (the “November Agreement”) to (i) grant an irrevocable proxy to the Reporting Parties (except for Great River) with respect to all shares of Common Stock (or other capital stock) now held or hereafter acquired by them (the “Proxy”), (ii) resign from their positions as officers and directors of the Issuer and its subsidiaries (except for their positions as officers of the Issuer’s subsidiary, Rezconnect Technologies, Inc.) and (iii) assign their right to nominate and remove members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors to the Reporting Parties (except for Great River). An effect of the November Agreement and Proxy grant is to give control of the Issuer’s Board of Directors to the Tomer Parties and to grant them a majority voting position in the Issuer. The Reporting Parties believe that the Issuer will be filing a Current Report on Form 8-K to describe the November Agreement. A copy of the November Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 
(a) Aggregate Number and %: See description contained in rows 7-11 of the respective Cover Page for each Reporting Party which is hereby incorporated by reference.
 
(b) Power to Vote or Dispose of Shares: See description contained in rows 7-11 of the respective Cover Page for each Reporting Party which is hereby incorporated by reference.
 
(c) Transactions within Prior 60 days: No transactions have been effected between the Issuer and Reporting Parties beyond those described in Items 3 and 4. The information contained in Items 3 and 4 is hereby incorporated by reference.
 
(d) Not applicable.
 
(e) Not applicable.


Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer. 

 
Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Tomer Parties, along with the Brent Parties, entered into the Stockholders’ Agreement in December 2004, the purposes of which were to provide for consistent and uniform management for the Issuer, to regulate certain of the rights of the Brent Parties and the Tomer Parties in connection with their interests in the Issuer, and to restrict under certain circumstances the sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other disposition of the shares of Common Stock held by the Brent Parties and the Tomer Parties. It should be noted that the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stockholders’ Agreement has diminished as a result of transfers by the Tomer Parties and Brent Parties between the date of entry into the Stockholders’ Agreement and the current time, which is reflected in the number of shares disclosed in rows 7-11 of the Cover Pages hereto. The material terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement were described in detail in the Original Statement and are incorporated by reference into this Amendment No. 1.
 
As a result of the November Agreement and the grant of the Proxy, the Tomer Parties (along with J. Lloyd Tomer individually) will have the ability to vote a majority of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock and will have the right to nominate and remove all members of the Issuer’s Board of Directors under the Stockholders’ Agreement.
