As someone who grew a site from nothing to 200k/monthlies, here's my advice:

1. The best way is if you get people to link to you. This comes down 20% to having better content and 80% to putting in the legwork to share your work and get others to see it (and then link). This outreach work is back-breaking and filled with rejection. Which brings me to:

2. In my experience nothing is easier (at least holistically) than having a high _quantity_ of content (I'm talking at a scale of 1000s of pages). This is a long-tail play and doesn't require near as many inbound links. Consider finding a low cost (Upwork/algorithmic) way of doing so. This content must still be of value to human readers so don't create keyword-stuffed drivel.

3. Put a lot of thought into how your search snippet appears in Google (look up: meta description and micro-data). This snippet is your website's a sale pitch: you need to convince someone browsing on Google why they should other clicking through.
