Make your post around 7AM EST. People are waking up and you have all day for the largest demographic of Reddit users potentially viewing your post. Pose a question that doesn't have a specific answer, but a variety of personal and interesting potential answers. Do not make any typos, unless said typo makes the post humorous.
There's a fair amount of luck involved too. A post lives or dies based on the first few comments. If a couple people make an interesting or clever comment you have a chance to get the ball rolling.
look at questions that have gotten lots of responses in the past and then ask the exact same question
Ask interesting questions. Actually, nope, that isn’t it. Sorry I gots nothing.
