Unfortunately, if you try to get a bunch of people together to rent hash, you'll all be competing with each other on the rental site. It would be better if you could get a trusted member to run a group rental for you.
Of course, you need to realize that even if you do manage to get five people interested in supporting this pool by throwing 200TH/s at it for 24 hours, you're still not guaranteed a block. In fact, with 1PH/s, your expected time to block is just over 3 days at current difficulty. That's a pretty significant risk for most - a cost of about 1.6BTC to get a 1 in 3 chance of finding a block where your maximum possible payout would be 5BTC.
Please don't misunderstand me, I wish OP the best of luck with the pool and hope it finds a block. Once the pool starts finding blocks, it will start to attract more users (especially if the current users are happy with the pool).

Thanks for the input jonnybravo0311, its kind of a 'catch 22' situation. Miners don't want to mine as Nexious doesn't have a record of finding blocks/paying out, yet we can't find a block unless we have miners. Hence why I am asking for any suggestions or feedback to help remedy the situation of miners not mining.
