I would say to read but more importantly is to write.
There's no way you'll become a better writer if you don't start a habit of writing a lot. Start with things you read online or things you have experienced in your life (whether it is soemthing you experienced today, last week or at any point in time).
I find myself asking pretty basic/stupid questions when I am walking down the street (funny looking building on the street that don't look like anything in the district and there I have something on my mind that I can write something). If you manage to develop the habit of being able to put words on your thoughts, you will become a better writer than if you can't do it.

Depends what type of writer are you thinking of? marketing? technical? blog posts? novels? - I guess if you wanted a simple answer on how to write better, I would say - just read as much as you can.
