What’s the latest on the “DK is a Street Performer” challenge issued by Howie Schwartz?

Check out these videos in order to see the Google rankings from last night.

Google updates all the time – several times a day – so when YOU go and search for the same keyphrase (dk is a street performer), you might find that things have shifted.

If you’re rooting for me, note that at this time I still hold the first 5 spots on the first page of Google.  But I plan to hold all 10 – plus page 2.  I’ve got a couple of tricks up my sleeve …

Watch both videos now and then leave a comment below.  And if you want to learn how to do what I do, make sure you check out Howie’s Apprentice (listed on the right of this blog for your convenience).

Here’s the first video:

Recently, Howie Schwartz, internet marketing extraordinaire, decided to issue a challenge to members of the “90 Day Challenge.” Jimmy Davis and Dennis Karganilla (aka DK) run the challenge to help network marketers improve their sponsoring skills. Many members experience a complete turnaround in their businesses.  The challenge?  Rank on page one of Google, in as many spots as possible, for the keyword phrase:

DK is a Street Performer

So how does one go about ranking on page one of Google?  Especially with multiple listings?

Here are 4 things you can do RIGHT NOW to rank on the first page of Google for ANY keyword phrase:

ONE:

Upload a video to YouTube.
Google owns YouTube.  So it’s no surprise that a video I uploaded there immediately showed up on the first page of Google.  Just make sure to include the keyword in the title and description, as well as the tags.

TWO:

Tweet about it!  Even before I started my marketing, there were exactly two results on the first page of Google for “DK is a Street Performer.”  Both were tweets sent out by two separate twitter users simply stating the keyword phrase.

THREE:

Do a Google search.  If you’re thinking to yourself, “what’s that gonna do?” consider this:
The things you see on the first page of Google are the things that rank well on Google.  So if you see a particular site on page one, you’ll probably want to use that same site to try and rank.  It’s that simple!

FOUR:

Take action!  …and don’t give up too fast.  Decide what you want to achieve (how many websites do you want to have on the first page of google?) and work at it until you get it.  And if you quit?  Someone else will do it.

Oh – and if you’re wondering how I’m doing with the challenge…
Here are a couple of screen shots taken this morning – and this is only the beginning;

A friend of mine recently sent me this message:

Here’s my response:

I believe Mike Dillard was talking about twitter.  His point was that he couldn’t keep up with all the tweets being sent out by the 10,000 + people he was following.  He ascertained that, if people really cared about what he had to say, they’d keep following him regardless.  This is a somewhat good tactic for twitter for a variety of reasons.  First, if only people who actually care follow you, they’re likely to be more responsive.  Second, Mike Dillard is well-known, and will acquire followers no matter what.

Now, let’s think about it from our perspective.  We’re not extremely well known in this industry.  If anyone other than our team members and close friends follows us, it’s either because a) they happened to see our tweets re-tweeted by someone else and thought we were cool or b) they’re following people en masse just to get followers.

Fact is, if you don’t start following people – and following people BACK on twitter – you probably won’t get very many followers…those who follow may eventually unfollow when they see you didn’t return the favor.  The good about that is that only people who really truly care what you have to say will be following you (a more responsive list).  The bad part is that the less followers you have, the less likely you are to get responses & retweets, and the less likely other people are to find you.

Okay, now let’s take that to facebook & MySpace, YouTube, and so on.  All of these sites have really one main point when it comes to network marketing – and that’s networking; connecting with people in a non-business way.  It’s like going to a party and saying “hi” to many people, chit chatting, hanging out with those whose personality you enjoy…  Eventually, you start to get to know a few people better, and you invite them to your “home” – your blog.  That’s where they can learn even more about you.  From there, if they’re in need, and you can help, you send them to your sales page.

Now, who exactly are the kind of people you resonate with – who would resonate with you – and who might become your leaders (in your downline) one day?  The network marketers!  You’re new to it now, but eventually, you’ll be coming out with your own products and ideas and things that people who are already marketers will be interested in.  And who to resonate with better than someone who does the same kind of thing you do?

Mike Dillard’s method works for Mike Dillard.

That’s how I see it.
