How To Get Promoted (Without Getting Lucky)

As someone who worked for 14 years in four countries and five companies, there is no reliable way to get a promotion at all. You need to be in the right team, right boss, right time and right company to get a promotion which is a 10-20% raise and 200% more responsibilities. Nepotism, politics, financial situation and dire need play a crucial role here.
My advice? Do not fall into the rat race trap. If your boss wants to promote you, you don’t need to write a hundred bullets to HR to prove that. If you see yourself in a dead-end at work, look elsewhere. Quitters are winners.

Promotion policies are company and context specific - bait title

I think the best you can do on your end is showcase a trend of self-growth and contribution to company. Beyond that it takes a good leader and company culture.
My first job, I built an application for internal use that was later licensed and company made millions but my request for raise and promotion was denied due to budget constraints but when I finally decided to leave they were ready to match 3 times the salary I got from new company. I never looked back. Since then I have been in company of great leaders who supported me through and through. I do the same for my team now and follow the principals of servant leadership.
