WILD has been the technique that has worked most often for me, and most of my lucid dreams have been because of WILD. That being said, I have gotten pretty good at doing it and can tell you that, at least for me the key is visualization. The problem I first had was that I would get easily distracted from my focus. I would think about doing the WILD, think about my day, or other similar things.
The key for me was to find a focus that would accomplish two things. The first was that it had to be interesting enough that I would not get distracted and the other was that it needed to be simple enough that my mind would just barely stay awake. Since I am an avid Tae Kwon Do participant, the solution was that I would wake up at about 2am or 3am, when I would be tired enough. However, I wouldnt get up and do stuff like the WBTB method, but instead immediatly start visualizing myself doing a TKD form. This would launch me passed the HI part and straight into the falling sensation. Soon I would be in an LD.
So basically what I would reccomend would be to find a focus, which could be yourself doing somthing, dreaming, sleeping or otherwise, but preferably somthing interesting that can keep your attention. Secondly make sure you are pretty tired. I have found that it works almost instantly for me if I am tired but it could take much longer if I just tried it straight when I go to bed. By much longer I mean 4 hours or so.
Good Luck on achieving your WILD and I hope my advice helped a little bit.
