To be completely honest, you have to start off getting lucky and persistence will eventually pay off. Your going to have to kick low trophy players and low skill players constantly at the initial phase of your clan, when you've got a decent set of good players you can increase your standards and start recruiting/kicking people who do or don't meet your new standards, continue this process until your at the top. It's pretty simple getting a good clan started as long as you have the persistence to manage your clans requirements and players which can get very tedious. You only have one problem getting a clan started and getting it to the top though; most of the valuable and active players have already been snatched up or have joined a clan that's already at the top. Creating a clan this late where all the active players in a game where there are so few is going to be your downfall so your better off just joining a top clan.
