Few tricks to building up low popularity guys beyond what Tom said

1. Putting them in angles with higher popularity and/or talented workers will get them over that initial hump of total jobberdom pretty fast. Ideally you want to put them with a guy a bit above their level to make the segments stronger but not someone who will completely overshadow them cause the "looked lost out there" penalty matters a lot I believe.
2. In matches having a guy lose respectably-- like a match that gets time and with the open match note, will help a ton. Don't do the "keep strong" note on a guy that's losing if they're a jobber though that ends up backfiring I feel.
3. If you want to book them over higher popularity guys save it for your big events. Otherwise you're just pissing them off for little reason as on TV shows the actual booking doesn't matter nearly as much as the win/loss impact is lessened there. Also ideally you feed them jobbers or whatever before that since the momentum thing seems to matter a lot for overness conversion when a guy wins the match.

Overall I find it pretty easy to the point where when I'm running low popularity feds I need to play conservative so the AI doesn't cannibalize my guys before I can sign them to written, but it might be down to booking style.
