How to become good at chess for beginner?

Should I read a book on chess. Or Are there any sites where I can find simple puzzles to solve. I have been playing 10 minute matches online and can't seem to improve. This has been going over a year now and I am still stuck at beginner level. Please help

I'd highly recommend watching John Bartholomew's climbing the rating ladder "Up to 1000" video on youtube, and his series in general: 1200-1400, 1400-1600, 1600-1800 and 1800-2000.

Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a respected  chess coach and chess YouTuber who helps beginners out :

Here’s some ideas to help you get better.  

-I recommend two books for you: “50 Poison Pieces”   and “Queen For A Day: The Girl’s Guide To Chess Mastery.”  Both books are available on Amazon.com.  Both books are endorsed by chess masters!  

-Check out my 500 puzzles  for beginners on my website: www.ChessByLauren.com.  These puzzles are different than other puzzles on other website.  The puzzles are endorsed by top chess professionals.  

Here are more tips for you: 

-Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side. Always as, “If I move here, where is my opponent going to move?”. Do this for every single move!  

-If you are serious about chess, hire a chess coach.  

-Play with a slow time control, such as G/30 so you have plenty of time to think before every move. 

-You are welcome to come to my free online beginner chess class on May 14:  

-Feel free to ask my question on my live chess livestream Youtube channel, every Sunday from 1-2pm PST.

"Should I read a book on chess." ++ Yes, but do not overdo that. 1 book per year is enough.

"Or Are there any sites where I can find simple puzzles to solve." ++ Yes, puzzles are good.

"I have been playing 10 minute matches online and can't seem to improve."
++ Play 15|10 and play it slowly: use all the available time. Always check your intended move is no blunder before you play it. Whenever you lose a game, stop playing and analyse it.
