What are 3 ways to increase solubility of a solid?

Three ways I can come up with are increasing the temperature, increased the amount of solvent, and using a solvent with similar polarity as the solute.

Explanation:

Heating a solution will increase the solubility of compounds which have endothermic dissociations.

Increasing the amount of solvent will work if the solution is saturated.

Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, and nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes. Like dissolves like.
