Hmmm. There's an article here by someone who claims to have got an EB-1 by being a leading SEO blogger: https://www.google.ie/amp/s/thenextweb.com/contributors/2017...

I remember a few months ago reading on some criteria for EB-1, which if met, was considered to be a good thing by USCIS.

One of them was having higher remuneration than your peers from the same field, a lot higher. Gave me an impression of being 10X more or something.

My Co-founder got his EB1 while in PostDoc. Not a Nobel laureate but he has 50 peer-reviewed publications. Went on to become a Faculty Research Professor in Physics Department. He has PhD and MBA when applied for EB1. He actually has helped other great researchers get their EB1 as well, part of it has to do with the petition and how genuine and how strong of a case you make for making an impact on USA. Also, things like being an Editor or reviewer for academic journals, establishing a track record for guiding MS students on way to PhD, strong publication record, etc.

How can I do this while I am working in an IT company? Peer reviewing and similar work? I work in Enterprise Software (BMC Software)

Please guide.

Unless you're in a researchy department, working and publishing papers, this is very very hard.
