Syclone is spot on with his advice. Here are my top tips, some repeating important points. I'm mid TH9, Lvl91.

1. Never rush TH upgrade. FULLY MAX everything, including walls before next upgrade.

2. If you ever were to spend money, get all 5 builders.

3. Don't waste gems on buying resources, gem barracks instead and farm with BARCHing - basically cheap army consisting of half barbs and half archers

4. TH outside. Best position is far left hand side. First thing people look at is how much loot you have so they should notice the TH and snipe it for quick win.

5. NEVER EVER trap your outside TH, i.e. teslas, bombs etc. You only make your attacker angry and he/she unleashes the full army on you.

6. Place Clan Castle in/near the middle where it cannot be triggered until the first layer of wall is breached. Your CC is your best (unpredictable) defence mechanism so think about what you want before you go offline and request.

7. DONATE DONATE DONATE. The best clans fills each other up in seconds. Important to cultivate this culture early on.

I have an alt account and will drop by wiki when I get a chance.
