500 Elo after one month: how can I improve?

Bsjjs

Just focus on what your opponent is trying to do.

Purchase chess.com diamond membership and learn from it if you can afford

there's alot of free chess content on youtube... find a channel you like and listen to them talk chess would be my suggestion. 
For beginners the main focus is always on not blundering. Take a look at the puzzles on this site for tactics practice, they're very good.

I can help you improve. Message me if interested.

There are Youtube channels of some really good player-teachers that are skilled at teaching others chess. Sorry, if I skewer the names, but a few that I like are Anna Cromwell, Gothamchess, and Hikaru Nacaguru(?), and Igor Smirnov.

Also the puzzles and other learning tools here are great.

I also just discovered a site call DecodeChess, in which you can analyze your games and it explains why certain moves are best.

oof , time to advertise classes

My Elo right now is 575. But I want to improve more this year as well. My goal this year is about 700-900. Can someone tell me how to improve more this year? TYSM!
