@eksdee, Hi, it can be quite a pain to get the right method!! But the #1 thing is patience!!
Different things work for different people.
For me I get 100% succes with just putting the seed straight in the soil. 3-4 days later there up...
I prepare the soil before I plant the seeds NOT by watering the whole pot but by using only 100ml of water to the center of the pot.
Then I use a pen/pencil to poke a hole in the moist soil... 1cm is deep enough. Any deeper you can lose seeds.
I also use my mouth to wet the seeds first, I suck on them for a couple of mins then put them in the hole and cover with a tiny sprinkle of soil.
Then I cover the surface with a piece of Plastic wrap/cling film
