If it's a plaster wall / dry wall don't use the masonry anchors mentioned by the other person lol.

Just go to a hardware store and ask for a 'hollow wall anchor'. My favourite type is wall mates. Watch a youtube video on how to put them up with any cheap screwdriver!

(If it matters I use this stuff daily in my job)

It's not drywall, it's either brick or concrete covered by plaster.

Oh, in that case you need a rotary hammer with a masonry bit to put a hole in the brick or concrete, plus dedicated concrete screws to fasten. If the object you're hanging is light enough, you may be able to use adhesive instead.
