New clan Help

[seahawk22]

Now i have been playing this game for A LONG TIME. But, i have just started a clan and i don't know how to get people to join and stay.
I try bribing them with troops, telling them the truth ( were a new clan, blah blah), nothing works, i have only 10 members and my trophy limit is only 200 and i got all my friends that play CoC and they take up half the clan, including myself.
Help plz

My advice is to not bribe them. Let them in, start a conversation, and if they ask for troops give them over. Tell them to donate actively if they want elder, and to be loyal. And if they run with your troops, so be it, it's free exp and you didn't lose anything except a disloyal member.

to recruit players, you can invite clanless players from your league, and you can have your elders (dont give it out freely) join you in looking on global. There is always someone looking for a clan there.

if you ever decide you've had enough of leading a clan, our clan would love to have you. It's named dirty elegance and is lead by the one and only robby jay (lvl 96). We want active loyal members and if this is you then welcome aboard. But whatever you choose, good luck and have fun.

I've done basically everything you said, and i will stop troop bribing, but everyone that joins i try talking and they don't respond and then like a few hours later they leave. Or even if i do talk to them AND give them the best troops i have, they leave.
Right now all I have is silvers 3+ in my clan, should i make a trophy limit to make the clan feel exclusive, better than it
is?

thx for your help so far

Up your league on global, if your in bronze go to silver, if your in silver go to gold and so on. The higher the league the more people will be attracted to you.

No, don't bribe players and don't up the trophy limit. I've never led a clan in CoC, but I am leading a pretty successful clan in a game called AQ Worlds (my clan is the ShadowScythe Elites). When you first start out, you want to pull in as many players as you can, so just set the clan to invite only with zero trophies. The reason you want to set it to invite only is because you want as many players as you can, but you want to be able to more or less siphon out the complete and utter noobs. So once you've acquired a clan full of semi beginners (if a high level player applies obviously accept unless you have reason against it), more people would probably have heard of your clan. Then, you can start kicking out the inactive noobs and start replacing them with higher level players (TH6+). Once you have a player base of intermediate players, then you can up the ante and possibly be more exclusive. If you want, you can set up a website and a forum recruitment thread and set up an application form, set the clan to closed, and only open it up for applicants on your website/forum thread that you've accepted, so that way, you'll only have applicants and clanmates who are serious enough about CoC to start looking on the forums/internet for a clan and to fill out an application. Here's the website for my AQW clan, the ShadowScythe Elites. http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp...7&mpage=1&key=

No problem, man. Glad I could help. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions or need some advice with your clan. If you ever decide to play AQ Worlds I can try to find a way to get you into my AQW Guild, the ShadowScythe Elites.

I have left my clan and promoted another leader, so I have joined a new clan so I won't need more help.
I will keep this Thread open for others looking to start a clan and need help doing so.
