Vin if you wanna be good at chess, focus on the game and practice puzzles, don't focus on your rating. If you focus on your rating and think that you're bad you won't have the confidence to look into the moves. Like you said you're playing randomly and not focusing. If you play a chess game you need to focus. Also WORK ON TACTICS!
I played 1000 games but my rating is 500
Sort:
That's how you will reach your goal.
BTW these puzzles involve overworked pieces, sacrifices, checkmates, and much more.

As a person who was in the 1500 USCF range for more than 3 months (which is pretty long for me), this isn't as easy as it seems, @quentle . That's why you need tactics and openings.
Basic tactics yes...Learning, and understanding pins, forks, skewers, etc. Absolutely. But if you're studying tactics, and have no idea how to create tactics through strategy, you're wasting your time.
What was the saying? "Tactics flow from a superior position."
How do you get a superior position? By understanding strategy: Piece activity, space, pawn play, provoking weaknesses.
Ah, silly me. Yes, strategy is also important. Thanks, @IMBeacon .

I agree, abchess, I do the 20 free tactics every day. I'm at about 1450, and find openings are less important than natural development. Cutting out mistakes is paramount to me.

I'm gonna float something regarding tactics training.
DON'T just go to the tactics section on here and start ploughing through loads of puzzles. use the filter to only look at one particular type of tactic, and only look at lower rated versions (maybe under 1000, doesn't need to be too low since you know what type of tactic you're looking for).
I did this with smothered mates, I have never since missed a smothered mate pattern in a puzzle and now when I play games, it's a position I can play for, if there's an opportunity to put my knight near a castled king then I'm going to do that knowing I can squeeze a checkmate.
do it with skewers. do it with forks. endgame stuff. learn basic mating patterns. test yourself on 3 at once. put the rating up.

Bullet is for fun. You don't learn chess from bullet.
Maybe 3 years ago I was a person who was playing only blitz sometimes, preetty rarely, I was in general focused on tactics, some tutorials, youtubers and my blitz rating was 1250 - 1350. Then i was started to play only bullet and I was playing this format a lot. I played maybe 2 thousands games in short period of time. I was around 1700 - 1800. Then I decided to play blitz again. I was really surprised how fast my blitz rating was increasing and I was moved from 1300 to 1700 maybe in few weeks.
I think bullet improved my calculation skills and general chess sense a lot. But maybe my problem of stagnation was that i just wasn't playing games.
No problem

When I coached a very successful high school team, I had some players who didn't progress as fast as expected in OTB rating.
There was always one or both of two reasons for the problem:
1) they were concentrating on traps in the opening and thinking they could win a lot of quick games. That often left them at a disadvantage because they violated opening principles.
2) they were not learning opening principles and tactics - and later strategy and endgame principles.
I suggest you look at these three pages and memorize over time the tactics and positions involved - it will help you see possibilities better:
https://www.chess.com/article/view/chess-tactics--definitions-and-examples
https://chesstempo.com/tactical-motifs.html
https://chesstempo.com/positional-motifs.html
Work tactics problems at at least a couple different sites, chess.com and chesstempo.com being excellent choices.
As Martin Weteschnik says in his very excellent Chess Tactics from Scratch, 2nd Ed. (c.2012) (pp. 16-23): "Solving tactical puzzles without fully understanding the underlying mechanisms is not the most efficient way to learn. Instead you must first understand the elements of combinations....[the patterns] might look...trivial...but might turn up in complicated situations. Only if you know these simple patterns by heart will you be able to recognize them in very difficult situations. Have you ever lost due to an unforeseen [tactic]? [From such] games,...put the positions on a board and try to figure out why these [tactics] came as surprises. Don't be satisfied with just being able to pinpoint the exact mistakes. Always try to understand the underlying causes of your defeats. In some sense all defeats are caused by lack of understanding. So the question one must ask oneself after a loss is: What more do I need to understand to improve my chess?”

@vineet2018, do lots of tactics on Chess.com's tactics trainer. I see you only have five attempts, and I'm sure your blitz rating will soar once you get that practice in. 1000 is going to be difficult to achieve without a solid tactical foundation.

Hey man! Don't be discouraged! You just started playing chess. Even if I am busy with school and don't play OTB tournaments that much, like what the others said, you should really try to do more and more tactics consistently and keep playing more games (not bullet games for now) until you get enough experience to handle pressure in faster time controls. I personally don't take daily or rapid ratings as seriously as blitz and partially bullet here, but playing bullet games and even blitz is very unhealthy. I have been playing for a while and it's okay! We all make mistakes and lose games sometimes 
Like what others said, try to get chess books and learn strategy. Review or think about the mistakes you made in your games and try to do better. Even if I care about OTB ratings more than online, it's good that you do want to get better at chess and you just enjoy the progress you made. Not to sound rude, a 1000 tactic isn't enough to get better. You should try like over 120,000,000 within like 2-3 years.
Many players take bullet chess too seriously here and it leads to unhealthy development. Try to review games from strong players in this site and look for more GM games on other sites and watch chess videos when you have time. This will also help you. The reason there are so many high rated blitz and bullet players here is because they have been playing for a while and they have enough experience to try various ways to experiment and have fun with chess. Try to focus less on rating points and more of the quality of play. Don't take online games/ratings especially daily or rapid too seriously. It can reflect your potential strength, but there can be a plentiful of cheaters here, so that won't be very accurate. Not trying to make an accusation and not everyone cheats here. Just because you automatically lost doesn't mean your opponent cheated.
Anyways, most people here are trying to give good tips here and they remind me good ways how to improve my chess too! I am sorry if the criticism sounds hostile and harsh here, yeah people should be a little softer and less tough. It's okay, we all have been beginners before. I like how you aren't taking chess too seriously, you have some really good games, and you just want to learn the beauty of chess. You have potential, but you need to keep playing more, study more, and go to as much OTB tournaments as possible. Just remember keep training more. Welcome to chess.com. May the force be with you and may god bless you a wonderful life
P.S. Classical famous chess games can also help you to learn a lot. Good luck getting to 2000 rating.
-Eric
Sigh... another beginner looking for short-cuts in chess. Account registered on chess.com about a month ago. So, you want to reach 1000 rating here just after 1 month of play and may be become GM next year? Btw, I didn't see in your profile 1000 games played on chess.com since 7th December 2018, as you stated at topic...

It's my 3rd account. I played 1000 games with people and more then 2000 with computer total. I have done tactics like fork skew on chess app . My problem is the person with whom I play is of generally 500 rating but still he checkmate me. 99% of the time i move my king because it is in check and finally get checkmated.
I m an engineer . Teaches maths for engineering entrance exam . I ranked 99% percentile in engineering entrance exam in which 1 million students were there.
Only chess is a field where I am zero.

Cut out obvious blunders. Then cut out bad mistakes. Then cut out ordinary mistakes. Then cut out little mistakes.
Your rating will soar.
