Welcome.

There are many kinds of writers. (just as there are many kinds of artists, musicians, etc.) Writers write. Some publish, some are paid for writing directly (copywriters, journalists etc), some are paid by publishers (indirectly by the readers), some are paid by the reader. Some post their writing for free on blogs or power poles or in college hallways.

I can't think of a SINGLE best piece of advice, you've listed several above. I will say that the thing that inspires me is reading excellent work and hoping to emulate it in some small way.
