Don't listen to people who tell you to write every day. Write every day if you can - but not everyone can do that. Instead, do something every day that has something to do with your writing career - work on a plot in your head, look for character references, work out the little details!
Also, make an author platform online ASAP, also even though you don't have a book out yet. If you have a 1000 followers when your first book comes out and just 5% of those people decide to buy your book, that's 50 people who might not've considered it! I recommend Instagram and Twitter - it's easy to do, and with a few posts and proper learning, you'll get the hang of it in no time!
