Had similar thoughts regarding this.
Small additional tip: What I've read in a previous post, it's not only about posting lots of articles but also about commenting on other posts and replying to all of them (especially under your own post). So basically it’s just about being very active on this site.
Regarding commenting: If you’re commenting users will be able to get to know you and basically know about your existence
