For starters, if your clan offers you no advice even though you are seriously asking (or don't even respond at all) then the number 1 thing to do is find a better clan.
After that, worry about upgrading Air defences to level 4+ (to deter clan war dragon attacks), mortars to level 6 (one shots lvl 6 archers), cannons to level 9 (three gold rings around the tube, one shots I think lvl 5 barbarians or something, not sure but this was a really useful upgrade).
then get your walls all to pink and after that don't worry about them too much, just upgrade them when you have the gold and/or time to get them higher. gold walls are garbage.
you're doing ok if you have 200 troop space and lvl 5 barbs/archers. it means you can farm very effectively with just about 50/50 combo of those troops at around 1250-1800 trophies.
