Titles you see on the site come from OTB tournament play. So, if you want a CM title here you will have to get a 2200 FIDE rating OTB. Then, once you get that, you'll have to submit your credentials to the site to get recognized.

Sorry to inform you that internet chess doesn't count for anything.
OTB means Over The Board. Real tournaments, many hours per game, players pay to play, FIDE (or national) rules are used.
The lowest rated title open to everyone is CM.
Hello!
