Luck. Because for some, it sure isn't talent....

My ex said it best, I think, that "to be popular on dA, you have to already BE popular on dA." It may sound like an impossible statement, but I think that pretty much explains it.

Partially, lots of submissions. Recent submissions pop up on the main page then, and if it catches someone's eye, you have someone who may look at your gallery and end up adding you. For people who aren't already big-name artists (like LithiumPicnic, ScottChurch and PelicanH) it also just takes time. I've been on DA for a couple few years now, and I only have about 10 people watching me who I don't know who they are.

Post...a lot.
Chat...a lot.
Visit...a lot.
Comment...a lot.
Get involved.

Being good at what you do helps.:P
If you are good?
You will be found.

Yet,yes, there are those who post crap ( in
my opinion ) who get literally millions
of faves etc., because they are 'sexy', 'cool' etc.

In other words?
It's just like life! :)

CRAP!

I'm not so good at life, either. Thanks for the advice. Too bad I can't do anything 'a lot'. Right now I have dial-up! +_+ But, oh, I will be back.
