What is the most affective way to increase your elo ?
Play the game? This is like asking „What is the best way to get better at [insert_activity_here]”. At ~300 elo you don’t really need any study, just keep playing games and try not to blunder your pieces. That will get you a lot further than you’d think.
I’m by no means a good player, far from it, but I started playing exactly 3 months ago. This is one of my first games:

And this is my most recent game:

Still not good, but a lot better. I can’t even recognise myself playing those first games. That’s the power of 800 games played. Just keep playing and don’t give up.

Learn and apply the most important principles of chess. - (core of my teaching)
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.
Solve a certain amount of puzzles every day. For example three puzzles, or solve them for a quarer hour. This will over time give you the ability to see tactics and get beyond rating 300.
Everything else was already mentioned. Though I dont think you should think about getting a coach with 300 rating already. Maybe join your local chess club if there is any.

Improving Your Chess - Resources for Beginners and Beyond…

Take a few weeks to read some of the classic instruction books by people like Reinfeld, Chernev, Lasker, and Horowitz. Learn the basic principles of openings and endings and see how masters apply them.
Several weeks of effective study will be more helpful than several months of playing blitz or bullet against other beginners.
