Here's a quick suggestion on how to manually recruit:
Step 1: Write up a recruitment message which is meant to be sent to anyone that joins the game, explain why they should join and how vibe can help more than other alliances can.
Step 2: Click at Nations, and send that message to every one in that list however try to not spam the same people.
Step 3: Do this daily.
Edit: I'd strongly suggest you move onto some bigger alliance, where you could grow and learn more and then you'll get a skill or two to use on your own alliance
