The only advice I would give to new photographers is to always be taking photos, you'll never improve or know what you need to work on until you're actually out there taking photos.
If you ever have issues or questions; research, study, and practice techniques that can help you.
If you need practice, you should definitely offer your services to school clubs/sports teams, community groups, local business or artists around you.
The same can go with any kind of content creation, just have fun and enjoy the journey.
