You don't need premium any more to level up a clan. Elite is free.

When you say your clan doesn't show up on multiplayer, do you mean you don't have a clan title that appears? If so, no one does, clan operations and titles have not started yet. You can't level up your clan in BO2 yet. Your clan title ( Calling Card ) will appear in muliplayer when your clan level reaches 5.

Hi acer,

if you haven't managed to make one yet, here is a quick run down:

1.Visit www.elite.callofduty.com

2.Click on the Clan Section

3.It has a link to make your own clan

4.Choose a name and register

5.Once registered on Elite and you have a clan name, you can view these on your clan HQ homepage (on PC) or a couple of pages across (on console).

6. You can manage your clan by accepting applications, inviting members across your console's network and view your roster.

7.Click competitions via 'browse' on PC website to view upcoming events

8.Enlist into appropriatte operations/challenges and play at the times set and the objectives (read challenge description).

9.Providing these are BO2 challenges, your clan will begin to earn xp after completing challenges and operations. (Although Elite will take some time to update your rewards)

10.Consistently check into Elite to enlist your clan into events, view your roster, check leaderboards to make sure your supportive of all your clan members needs and accept applications.

11.You can use Elite to do many other things too including video's for your clan.

Here's a thread from a basic understanding of what you need to bare in mind when thinking of starting a clan of your own:
