the "pwp" trick is where you basically put on your wetsuit, fill your pockets full of things that villagers cannot ask for trade or to buy [flowers, etc] and you go diving for at least 5 minutes. just wait until time is up and then go around town--your villagers should ping you for one reason or another. if it is not for a pwp, then repeat the process until you do! when i actively do it, i get about 1 per day. :] make sure you go around all your villagers to make sure that they ping you.

If there are specific ones you want, dig holes around a villager of the personality type that requests it and proceed to do the diving trick mentioned above. That way, you know where they are and can approach them in the hopes that they will ping.
Sometimes it takes a while. Sometimes the wrong villager pings, and sometimes they ping you and talk about things that have nothing to do with Public Works Projects, like showing you a letter you or someone else wrote to them.
If you do the diving trick, to increase the chances that the villagers will suggest a Public Works Project, you should sell anything you don't need and fill your inventory with bells. 100 bell increments are what I usually go with. That way, they won't try to buy things off of you or try to sell you something. Their dialogue choices are effectively limited by the circumstances, so the likelihood rises.
Also, periodically talk to villagers even if they don't ping. If you go too long without talking to someone, no one will ping and they will say that you look tired and that you should rest.

No, your pockets have to be full of the bells. No items. Tools are fine. Take the bells from your wallet in small increments and until every open slot is filled. That way, they can't try to sell you anything or have you buy anything. It doesn't have to be bells, just something that they can't offer to buy from you. Stationery or something like that could work, I guess? I never tried it that way. Bells are what I saw suggested and it has worked for me.

This works but I always just fill my pockets with flowers and store my bells.
Also make sure that you do NOT have an empty letter slot, otherwise they may ask you to bury a time capsule for them. That limits it to moving out pings, new catchphrases, new greetings, random things (not as likely in my experience), or PWP suggestions. Keep in mind that I think you can only get one PWP suggestion a day. I've gotten like 4 by doing this.

I've never heard of digging holes around the villager you want to get pings from. Hahaha! Great ideas.
