Setting things in fire, erecting barricades, actively fighting authorities and creating chaos, making it impossible to ignore. For examples see the Maiden revolution in Ukraine, Hong Kong protests a few years ago, or any Tuesday afternoon in France.
Orange revolution and Euromaidan in Ukraine were peaceful protests the government responded violently to them which energized more people.
In Poland Solidarity also was peaceful and the one that created violence was the government.
Historically peaceful protests like the above are more effective, because more people are willing to join them.
