Be a good example. Be a joy to be around... Don't be judgemental. Be kind, courteous, positive, happy, funny, polite... People will be drawn to you because you are great to be around and your actions will speak more loudly than words. Let them wonder why you are so happy and then, when they finally hear that you are a Christian, it will mean much more to them than if they hear it from your mouth firsthand. Too many Christians preach and condemn others -- it turns non-Christians off. Let your inner joy be your witness.

Without telling us what you have been doing, I will "assume" that you have not performed any type of witnessing for Christ.
Be a representative of Christ by doing your utmost to following His guide and example. Get out and let others know the joy you are living with the presence of Christ Jesus in your life. Don't be ashamed to say you are a believer in the one and only living God.
Try and follow the commandments that Christ gave us... not just the 10 commandments or the one that is well spoken of in the New Testament. "Obey God and love your neighbor as you love yourself."
Let the Spirit of God use you as the vessel or instrument to reach the lost souls. When you speak, to witness, pray first and then let the Spirit use your voice.

First be a doer of the word and not just a hearer only, then as Jesus commissioned us to go out and preach the Gospel. Living the life of a Christian is important yes, but He commanded us to Go (which is a action), and to preach (which is also an action involving opening up your mouth and sharing Christ with the World.) Also, it is important to be filled and baptized in the Holy Ghost before you go..Notice that the disciples ministry didn't start until they were filled and baptized in the Holy Ghost and Fire. That's where the believer will recieve the power of the Holy Ghost.

Make certain that your friends and family are all aware of your religious convictions. Then begin studying with as many of them as you possibly can. You can begin the study with a preacher or another elder/deacon from the local church that you are attending. Then make sure that they all begin inviting others to attend that might be interested after the first or second meeting time. This can be a great activity if you want it to be. Jesus sent the disciples out with the Great Commission this would be your part in that. I would suggest cookies and coffee or tea afterwards so that you can discuss whatever the lesson was about. I hope that this helps. Have a great day!

I don't know you, so it's hard to say what you can do to improve.
In general, many Christians need to start by learning a bit about humility and compassion. Because they are the predominant religion in America, they seem to feel they are owed an audience and allegiance. They seem to forget that others may hold their beliefs just as firmly as they hold theirs, and that belittling others is no way to gain support for your beliefs.
Many Christians in America have, unfortunately, become lazy and intolerant, and this works against the mission of evangelism. In order to attract non-believers to the church, one should begin by making sure they present an admirable, kind, helpful persona. If people don't like you, they won't want to BE like you.

Don't be judgemental, leave that up to the Holy Spirit.

Get to know Him better and recieve all the blessings that He gives in this life. Then, it will be hard to not "brag" about how great He is!

You first must have a conversion of heart. From there it will take some time to learn but well worth it.
