Ask HN: How and where to gain popularity for your project?

I made my project but it is not well known, I tried to advertise it here on Hacker News but I often got [marked], I also tried to promote it through other services but it didn't work on them either It didn't work out to gain popularity, but of all the best services, they were talking about HN It was said here that they gained popularity with the help of this site, but it doesn't work for me.
