You have to offer people something to get them interested. If you have only yourself, what can you possibly offer? Most corps that succeed come from people that already knew each other before they formed or found each other in game and were already playing a lot together anyway. That or they were already in a corp together and split off to form a new one.

Once you've got enough people in your corp to form a squad, you can start showing off your corp by filling the top 6 on each scoreboard in matches. Look out for people in pub games who are in starter corps and do well or at least try. Message them directly and tell them about your corp - note: they are unlikely to be impressed by a one man corp but it's still worth trying. Shout outs on local are next to useless and IMHO look pretty desperate and lame.

Basically, get some friends. Find people to play with regularly and then make a corp. Always keep in mind what other people are thinking - why would they want to join your corp? If you can answer that, you're halfway to solving your recruitment problem.

i never said people should join (even though i want them to) all i'm trying to say is that recruitment is dead right now and will continue to be dead unless a miracle happens. like a major corp with a thousand members being disbanded.

Also the name of the alliance or a symbol should be added in the player info, i want to recognize my alliance mates when i enter a match. For example: I'm the CEO of NBH and i want to "buy" a sub-corp. I'll negotiate the price with the CEO of this corp and i buy it, he will have total control on his own corp, but he will be related to me. My corp will gain a little % of his corp taxes (from 5 to 20 percent, calculated on the taxes). As a sub corp he can buy other sub corps. Corp trees should be showed somewhere in tab when we press info on a corp. The first dust pyramid scam? lol love it

Well, our little 50 man corp manages to recruit a new player or two each week, so there are definitely people out there open to joining corps. There's just no reason to join yours when you can't even offer more than yourself to squad with and it's not like you're going to be online 24/7.
