Knowing that porn is the answer to the popularity algorithm here...
I would write porn, and therefore acquire popularity.
I would continue doing so until I reach glorious deus vult popufur status and have thousands of watchers.
Once I acquired watchers, I start handing out cheap commission in which I basically manifest my new plebeian watchers' deepest and most decadent fantasies.
Hand their commissioned stories through dubiously suspicious links that will basically infect their PCs with a worm/virus/adware/malware (or whatever) that will turn their PCs into mining bitcoins for me.
Eventually, I will have 7348 PCs mining bitcoins for me. Will raise to 15123 if art theft will happen.
With the money and bitcoins won, I will buy a laptop
Go just outside any bar in town, log into their wifi
Connect to TOR (Or broadly: The Darknet), with money and bitcoins (Should be tons by now) hire all the hitmen and crazy people, found a glorious deus vult terrorist organization
(While at it, expose all pedophile subhumans from TOR to their country's law enforcement institutions... simple civic duty)

Direct the terrorist organization into usurping my country's government and establishing me as the head sovereign.

I would literally become a country leader by writing pornographic material.
Imagine the ego-stroking moment I would have knowing that I would be the first person in history to achieve something in life with porn. No wonder I love myself so much.

First thing I would do as glorious leader: ban porn.

So yes, if you'll ever see me writing porn (which will never happen) then prepare for following me on a quest for world domination.
Since you are the dear and committed followers that you are, it is unquestionable that you will follow me on this quest right? right? right? c:

And if you wonder, yes, I usually spend my nights devising world domination plans.
Enjoy the randomness.
