How Do Writers Get Famous?

I was wondering how writers get famous, and a web-search led me to a couple of things: the wikiHow on 'how to become a famous writer,' and a list of tips from famous writers.
The how-to was basically 'good habits for writers to practice while they wait for their fame to "come into bloom."' The writers' tips--of which I've only read a few--look more practical. https://www.aerogrammestudio.com/2013/07/19/23-tips-from-famous-writers-for-new-and-emerging-authors/
But I think the main WAY they got famous was 'to just keep doing what they do (naturally improving their technique as they go ... trial-and-error is one of the best teachers ...)' until enough big 'publishers' (from the root-meaning 'people who make things more-public') flood the market with your greatest works.

Do you know the steps to take BETWEEN 'having a good story' and 'accepting the best-sellers' award'?

@Kandae11 So if I share my blog-posts on Twitter, how long do you think it'll be before a publisher hires me?

@mythociate l think, promotion would help, promoting oneself and the book. The availability of social media should make that process a bit easier.

Actually, now it's MORE complicated;
If 'everyone with a laptop and some spare time' is a writer, what can I do to put my writing ABOVE the crowd.
