How do you get nice sunset shots?

I love photography and taking photos of the sunsets, and other things in nature.
My problem is that mine never turn out that well. I don't know if it is the camera I use, or the settings, or if it is that I am just not that great at taking those kinds of photos.
What do you all think? If you take great sunset photos, how do you succeed at that? Do you use a DSLR with specific settings? Do you just use a phone camera? I am always interested in getting better at taking photos.
I have a Nikon DSLR, but the photo here was taken with my android phone camera.

Yes, there is a difference....and I have seen some awesome ones, but the colors never come out the way I see them.

My best sunset shots are taken with my phone and then edited to enhance things like the colour and the definition. I am lucky to live in a flat rural area, so can capture some truly amazing sunsets.

I'll have to try editing mine in the future, that's a good idea. That's great that you live in a place like that. For me the sunsets are usually hiding.
