What does it take for a question to get >50 likes and a lot of answers? - 2/3

Question

I have seen that there is a badge which one can get if his/her question reaches 50 likes. So far, the questions that have reached this feat were not entirely related to programming. Most of them belong to the threads containing jokes, humour, chat threads, birthday wishes, etc.

So, as an amateur, how am I to state my questions, so that they get answered by many ?
Shall I be more explanatory? How do you achieve the same in 512 characters? I have tried using the Content Creation Guidelines, but to no avail.

your question can get 50+ upvotes if the general population likes it, it's something everyone can participate in.
your question description should not be more explanatory, make it simple so most people understand it. create a question which caters to a larger audience.

let's see below are two of my questions both were meant with good will and created as such.
the 1st question got above 50 upvotes as it caters to a larger audience.
the 2nd question while meant for everyone only gathered a less than 10 votes because not many people were interested in it.

create something interesting, fun which caters to a large audience it should get more votes than usual.

for 50+ upvotes you should have followers which vote, post in your question so it gets in trending and enough people find it interesting and upvote.

Answer 3

I think it lies on asking a rare but obvious question that people always ignore...for example a user asked a question on jquery's '#x27; sign ,how jquery can be used in conjuction with other libraries that used the same sign ,and it gained up to 96 likes , despite the fact that no one was able to answer it {she made a deeper research and came up with the answer then through her answer krishna Teja came up with a code that illustrated it} ... so what i'm saying is ask questions that people can relate to but have been nonchalant about until that moment ..

and you would look more serious , focused & Professional than those who make celebration / Joke questions , if you do so

would have linked the question , but i can't find it nor her account anymore , seems like she deleted her account because she once made a comment about doing so...
