Three things;
 * 1) Sticking with it until it works
 * 2) getting your name out (in a good way)
 * 3) Luck

Honestly, most producers aren't that good at music (though honestly, a lot of people can't tell) or lack the chrisma to draw a crowd and the drive to continue when they meet a brick wall. Keep expectations low and expect nothing, but if you get the break don't sit there and go "yeah, its good and all". Go for quality over quantity, but don't just sit there for periods on end and expect much.

Also... Bare in mind western producers don't experience with Vocaloid good results in general. Its not they can't, its just... Compared to Japan, you know, most of the faous producers aren't here in the west. So be prepared to do Vocaloid more of as hobby.

But trust me on this one... Don't do illegal vocaloid if you are serious, its just not worth the hassle. If you have no legal vocals then do this privately... As I said, most producers here in the west get nowhere and its not worth the hassle of crossing witch hunters.
