You are operating in a market where the supply of newly started little guilds are completely disproportioned from the demand of such guilds. You're in a situation of trying to sell icecubes in Antartica here.

First thing you need to realise is that there are no shortcuts, it takes hard work, dedication, and a lot of time. Even then, the odds are not on your side.

Your odds are somewhat improved if your guild has a narrowly defined purpose, a purpose other than the whim of 'geee wiz! being the leader of a big guild would be really nifty and stroke my ego lots.' Such as am 8 person PvP team/guild, a group of real life friends, UW farming guild etc. and so forth.

Apart from that... there's a great sticky in this forum with tips of what it takes to start up a new guild. If you haven't read it yet, do so.

1) realise what you look in for a guild. timezones, pve or pvp, farming or not farming, rpg or not rpg, age, countryspecific or not, etc.
2) look around the established guilds. Is there any guild that matches that profile?
3) if not, you may have found a niche in the market, and should try to find members that search that also. If yes, try to join that guild and see what they are like.
