9 Steps to Being Popular on DA

By following these simple steps then maybe you too can enjoy the
ego-boosting effects of having a highly-popular deviation.

Step 1) Befriend an already-well-known artist.

Step 2) Watch EVERYONE. Seriously, if you stalk them, they're more
likely to watch you. The more watching you get the more
attention your art gets.

Step 3) Get a tablet. No tablet, no popularity. What you have to
understand is that TRADITIONAL ART SUCKS.

Step 4) Draw something, ANYTHING, involving one or more of the
following:
a) KingdomHearts

Alternative: Draw something clever, witty, and funny (and if
        it involves something from the list above, the
              more power to you!).

Reminder: Don't forget that tablet! Without it, you're just
      another failure.

Suggestion: Yaoi

Step 5) Advertise! Advertise! Advertise! I mean, seriously. EVERYWHERE. Furcadia, Gaia, Kingdom of Loathing, Forums, World of Warcraft...Diablo II....Yah, EVERYWHERE. And don't forget to encourage all of them to pass the word along.

Step 6) Wait.

Step 7) Repeat steps 1-6 once desired popularity level is acquired.

Step 8) Repeat a few more times and soon every single thing you
upload will eventually reach the top page of the daily
favorites! Even the things you spent ten seconds on! Isn't
that grand!?

Step 9) Wait for someone to start a fan club.
