Focus on the basics: play strong hands aggressively. Avoid complex situations, as beginners tend to pay off every bet. Maximize the value of your hands by betting big, and be patient with variance.

Where to start? There is much to learn. If you ask me, the best teacher specifically for microstakes exploitative play is Nathan blackrain79 Williams. Google him. He has tons of YouTube content. If you like some of that, check out his website.

I have to disagree with this at least a little bit. I feel, that Nathan has not developed much over the years and just keep repeating the same things over and over. He made some good videos in the past, but most of his recent stuff I would almost describe as clickbait. Maybe someone completely new to poker can still learn something from him, but I think, there are better content creators out there. Not least the already mentioned 30 day course, which take people through several concepts with hand examples rather than just posting a headline like "dont play AK like this".

I think "Hungry Horse Poker" content on Youtube, also "CarrotCorner" and "Live Poker guide" can be good source for Cashgamers, though "Hungry Horse Poker" and "Live Poker guide" are designed for Live Casino Cashgames some concepts are good for online too.
For Tournament play GTO4OMC may be a helpful youtube source.

Also most major Training sites offer free information (PokerCode, Raise your Edge, Jonathan Little, Upswing Poker and so on).

For starting out Charts you can use the free GTO-Wizard charts.

For advanced concepts there is always a paywall.
