I think the better question is
How can you promote yourself on Nostr?
With no algorithm, people want to discover great accounts. If you're good, you'll do better here.
But how can you first get their attention?

Do people want to "discover great accounts" or find people worth building relationships with? Do people want to waste their time in one-way, consumption focused relationships with npubs who won't even know their name? I think celebrity accounts that only care about gaining attention, and the revenue that comes with it, are NGMI on Nostr. Or at least, not helped by psychotic king-making algorithms (primal).
I can only think of a few type of people who think along the lines of your note: politicians (sociopaths) and salespeople (scammers). Neither of which I want to make it easy to grow on Nostr.

GOOD MORNING, FEELING SPICY 🌶️✌️🧡🔥
Or small business owners?
Have the entrepreneurial spirit to find a way. Either to use what currently exists or invest in new solutions.
Currently, small businesses that align with Bitcoiner culture can find customers by supplying goods that are hard to get. Showing up at real life events seems to do more good than zapvertizing at least.
But if you're a podcaster making talking head content, I think you'll be hard pressed to stand out.
Seems like you don't have this problem so you're not looking for the solution. But it is a problem on Nostr for lots of people I've met. Lots of people with very cool (Nostr) projects and ideas.
We should be trying to make it easier for good ideas to grow. Not force everyone to master an extra and very difficult career.
I don't and I'm not. But even if I were, I wouldn't try to port over the practices of a century of propaganda turned marketing on the best social communication protocol ever invented.
