Hardworking, understanding of things around you and ask questions.
Be the best worker you can be. Work harder, longer and more productive that most others but without being arrogant about it. No one likes a show-off. But be humble in everything, and always ready and willing to help your coworkers. About actually asking for that promotion, well that's different altogether.
First, you have to know about it. Express your interest in getting promoted to X and state your case which you build prior to the conversation.
Do your work honestly. If your managers are not dumb or blind they definitely appreciate your work in any way. That's why they are that position. They know how did they reached there. Obviously hard work and honest way.
to the best job you could possibly do get along with the people giving them and everyone around you and wants you can do it as best as possible go above and beyond
do your job the best you can without contending with anyone else. Persistence will pay off in the long run. Stick with your job whatever your boss says. If anyone contends with you or tries to get you do it different let your boss know. Do not let others take credit for what you do. they are out for themselves not you.
Show that you want the promotion by showing you can do the promotion based duties : by showing your manager you have the skills on the job to do what must be done when promoted.
Be the obvious choice.
1) Go above and beyond, improving your skills 2) ask 3) find a higher job offer and give your boss an ultimatum
Work hard, focus, find solutions for issues without being asked.
Be punctual, professional and proficient at your job. Always be honest as well as courteous to your superiors.
Keep producing and keep opinions to a minimum.
Be skilled at what you do and prove that you are part of the bigger team and have the company's mission goals in mind.
Promotions go to folks who can think strategically about the company as a whole and identify what is needed and how they can support that effort. Our company is not interested in those that approach leadership and say, "I'd like a leadership position." We actually want you to demonstrate it in advance. And this can be done in EVERY position. You don't have to be supervising a staff to think about your role and what could be improved.
Best way to get a promotion is to do your job functions and exceed in that. Taking on additional responsibilities will help and make sure you are documenting that so you can have a conversation with your manager.
Ask for one. Keep track of what your achievements have been. Record milestones or accomplishments within the company that you contributed to or spearheaded. When asking for a raise have a foundation of accomplishments to back up your request, so it is clear what your value is to the company.
Do a really good job, extend yourself past your job duties and build interpersonal relationships.
Do the best job you can

Oh that's an old one!!
Be better than everyone else
Communicate perceived strengths, weaknesses, and desires. Ask about opportunities and what the expectations of the position are. Focus and skill matching and improving in weak areas which are critical to the position. Examples include: rapport building, communication, integrity, timeliness, efficiency, delegation, teamwork.
Be on time and do the job as it should be done. Timely manner
Work 50-80 hours a week & prove yourself - or give yourself a promotion by finding a new gig.
Do your job to the best of your ability.
In my opinion, there is no "best" way to get a promotion. A promotion comes when you deserve it most. The best way to earn it is by doing your job, and even then going beyond the normal when possible. Putting in the extra work especially in cases where "emergency"/top priority work comes about, to make sure you show that you are more than willing and capable to do that work does help. In other cases sometimes you do have to speak to someone in order to prove yourself in a way that shows you are brave and assertive enough to say you deserve and earned the promotion - this especially in cases where a company may be too big to individually watch each employers work.
Step up and take initiatives
Understand your goals. Demonstrate you are results oriented. Have your boss recognize your accomplishments and get them to help career plan you...
Work hard, show your interested in moving up in the company and hope for the best. Depends on the company though, every place runs the show different. Sometimes it's just a matter of applying for the position.
Promotion comes after company evaluation on your performance. One needs to perform their tasks with passion and without supervision. Do your work more than your best.

Be on time every day. Make your bosses job easier. Take on stretch assignments and get to know higher management.
Network and playing politics

Work hard and ask for one.
Learn new skills. Be interested in expanding yourself and your position.
Request negotiations and ask for what you need.
The best way to get a promotion is to be hardworking, dependable, go above and beyond and track your achievements. Once you go into your annual and quarterly reviews go over your achievements that you have accomplished that you feel should be noted and work towards a promotion at that time.
Believe sincerely that you deserve it. If not, improve enough to feel so. Explain why you are convinced and why is a win-win proposal (if not, do not start) Focuse in your own strengh, refuse absolutely refer to your competitor's weakness. Thank the opportunity if you do not succeed. It is a seed for the next time.

Make notes of special projects and time you have gone beyond the call of duty for a customer - make notes and date of each event and ask your manager for a promotion and or increase in pay

Work hard and help others. Your hard work will pay off and people will notice.

Performance and of course your treatment to your colleague.
Do your job
Do a good job and let your boss know your expectations.
Apply for it or ask the boss about it while you do the best job possible. You should always show up on time and make your efforts known. Maybe put in an extra few hours.
work hard. prove yourself to management and to your coworkers that you deserve the promotion.
Don’t ask what to do next, when issues arise be the first to jump in and start working the problem.
Find an empty space and fill it.
Working hard, being a good team member and showing results.
Decide what type of promotion you want (what type of position) and what the job requires, then develop those experiences and skills, possibly by volunteering to take on special assignments as they come up. Also make yourself someone people come to with questions, which means make yourself knowledgeable about your job and aspects of the company outside of, but that touch on, your immediate job. But first consider whether you really want the responsibilities that come with the promotion, rather than just the money or status that come with it. Some of the worst managers are people who want the money and prestige, but don't really want to supervise or lead people. They view leadership as a hassle and a burden on top of their 'real job' (as opposed to being their real job). As a result they make both themselves and the people they manage miserable
Get results doing the right thing
1. Ask 2. Explain why 3. Display/documentation as to why you should be promoted
Come to work be productive
The best way is from being rewarded for great work ethic and positive results.
Do your job the best you can.
Be friends with the boss.
Hard Work and productivity
Overproduce and demonstrate that you are willing and able and eager to take on additional responsibilities
Work hard, do your job, cover for others & keep your mouth shut & you will not get promoted (unless someone quits,) but you will most likely get to keep your position.
I would say work hard but that doesn't always work.
The best way to get a promotion is to start doing the tasks of that job while maintaining your current job. If you want to be a supervisor, start by making improvements that affect your team, take initiative and, most of all, take responsibility.
Make it into the inner bro circle
Do your work. Do your best. Remain faithful to your duties and do more, when you can. Help others.
discuss with your superior what are their expectations, what can you do to go above and beyond and what actions they are looking for in order to get a promotion. Unless you know THEIR goals, you can exhaust yourself with fruitless activity.
Apply for a promotion and be a better candidate than the other applicants
Network with others and talk with bosses about your potential for advancement.
Work hard and teach others.
Be great at what you do but must be a player in the political field as well!
Good attitude perhaps?
Depends on the job! You can trying quality over quantity. Using the positive attitude no matter what happens. Seek growth opportunity by asking how to do something higher than your job requires. Or simply put your head down to and just do the job efficiently. If the job is based on results or quality, or knowledge that can work. If it about just doing, one will have to request a higher position because no watches for aspiring workers.
Do your best and take charge. Be honest.
Keep working on yourself
Excel at what you do regardless of the hurdles, articulate this to your manager, refuse to let the quality of your work or articulation suffer in spite of long term disillusionment.
