This is very informative. I often wondered why some people just put up a post and before you know it the post is flooding with comments and upvotes. Now I understand that popularity is the key. Thank you @mike4christ for this. In addition to the above mentioned points, I've come to discover that patience is also needed. Do not be in a hurry to hit it big. Those hitting it big have spent couple of months in it so don't worry now, worry in months to come when you are still on the same level.
