Make lots of money.
Suppose, Māgandiya, a householder or a householder’s son was rich, with great wealth and property, and being provided and endowed with the five cords of sensual pleasure, he might enjoy himself with forms cognizable by the eye…with sounds cognizable by the ear…with odours cognizable by the nose…with flavours cognizable by the tongue…with tangibles cognizable by the body that are wished for, desired, agreeable, and likeable, connected with sensual desire and provocative of lust. Having conducted himself well in body, speech, and mind, on the dissolution of the body, after death, he might reappear in a happy destination, in the heavenly world in the retinue of the gods of the Thirty-three; and there, surrounded by a group of nymphs in the Nandana Grove, he would enjoy himself, provided and endowed with the five cords of divine sensual pleasure.

- Practice Metta meditation and try not to get angry or upset.
- Speak kind words. Avoid harsh words, divisive words etc.
- Keep to the five precepts.
- Do good deeds like donations, alms givings etc. and wish to be a goddess(better than nymphs).
In short, practice the ten moral actions and wish for heavenly birth.
By the way, using Buddhism only to get a heavenly birth is like using a CT scan machine as a park bench or using a gold bar as a doorstop. Buddhism has a much higher happiness to offer than heavenly births.
