WILD is one of the hardest way to induce lucid dreams since it requires such intense concentration. This is not always true as some people are naturally gifted for it, like people who are a lot more likely to enter the sleep paralysis state or people who find it easy to fall asleep yet have good concentration. If you started WILD you have to know that becoming able to do it will be very hard. It gets easier though, after having many ones you become a lot more disposed to how the transition into the dream feels and you become way better at it. Keep at it, try it every night with a WBTB and keep your journal. It took me an entire month of trying 5 times a week and my first one was very fuzzy, but now I've almost mastered it. It's a skill you have to nurture.

If you're already experienced with lucid dreams and understand how WILD works very well, try looking into DEILDs (Dream exit-entry induced lucid dream). It's another form of WILD where when you wake up out of a dream, you stay completely still and WILD. It's basically a fast track WILD because you're already prone to entering REM and your body is completely relaxed. You can even forcibly exit yourself when you're lucid and renter using DEILD to practice the transition from conscious wakefulness to lucid REM sleep.

EDIT:
Just read the rest of the thread and saw that you weren't using WBTB. At the beginning of the night, and if you didn't take any late afternoon-evening naps, it will be extremely difficult to enter a lucid dream, and if you did it would be very short as the REM phases at the start of the night are very short compared to the ones in the very early morning, which can be as long as 45 minutes (Which is a long time in dream time).

Either WILD on naps, after 3-5-7 hours of sleep (Exact times depend on when your REM phases are), or right after you wake up in the morning.
