More information is needed about you and your situation for me to give you the best advice that I can offer...
1) Do you already have a "core" group of players to build a game around?
By "core", I mean friends that play that you have already been around in a poker setting to gauge how they behave while drinking, how well they take bad beats, how well they interact with and treat other players, and in which you already have at least some level of trust.
2) Is there someone you know that has a game that you may be able to partner with in order to have access to a larger pool of players?
You may know someone that already hosts a game but may have trouble making games easily. This would be a great opportunity to add your player pool to his player pool, in theory making it easier for games to come together.
3) Are you located in a player-rich area?
If there are casinos nearby, as well as bar leagues (as has already been mentioned), these are great places to meet new players that you can potentially invite to your game.
AS SOMEONE SAID EARLIER IN THIS THREAD, DO NOT POACH PLAYERS!!! Poaching is a cardinal sin in the home game community and can get you blacklisted from certain games. There is unwritten etiquette when it comes to spreading the word that you have a game and are looking for new players.
I have successfully ran home games almost continuously since 2005. It comes with a lot of trial-and-error and making it right for YOUR players. The best advice I can offer is to emulate the casino as much as possible with regard to equipment and rules. One thing about home games that is pretty much universal is that all players want a well-ran game where they get to see a maximum number of hands per session. If you have a dedicated dealer to enforce rules and keep the game going it makes for a better experience, IMO. There are lots of good threads filled with great info in the Home Poker Forum. I will answer any questions that I can for you...
