The only thing you need to do to get to 1000 is fall in love with this game & make sure you play nearly everyday.
Haha sorry this is so late, but yes, I did manage to hit 1000. Trying to get back into chess again despite my hectic college schedule, was really nice to see this thread and all the comments back when I was 14

Practice, If you get loads of points upon winning/losing, play against weak bots.
Else, play against already 1000 players, like me!

pick about 3 basic openings. two for e4 as black and white, 1 for d4 as black , and then go see a few grandmaster games, just to get a feel for the position. (i suggest italian game for white and black, and queen gambit declined for black against d4. e4 is good for beginning players as white for learning chess)
then go train tactics, which will massively increase your ability at the below site or any site that trains tacts. if you get a premium here, u can use that, but below is free.

I assume you know basic endgame skills, mating with two rooks or two queens. fancy endgame skills can be learned later, at this point surviving the middlegame is probably important.
you need to then play games and look over your mistakes, to target key areas. if you are dropping pieces, try to avoid that. if you get creamed in the opening, find better lines and understand why the lines are better. for your level, developing pieces, and having central control is important.
i looked over a few of your games, and i would like to add that you sometimes waste moving the same piece around in the opening too much. also, it seems like you do not know the "attractive" places that your pieces like to be.
how long does it take for pattern recognition (for mates, forks, captures etc) as a 500 or below?

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet, but making a new account allows you to instantly be 2000 if you want!
In all seriousness, don't worry about the rating. Just work on improvement. The rating/results will follow.
in blitz just stay ahead of time and think before you move
The Chess.com basic lessons even helped someone like me.
chesstempo.com is the answer.

I've been stuck in the 900's for quite a while. I'm wondering how long it took you guys to get to 1000+ rating? (Assuming you even dropped down to that rating because all new players start at 1200). Any book recommendations, openings, tactics, etc. would be great. Thanks in advance!
Get a new account, get your skill level to "Intermediate", play 5 games, and voila.
This article should help you!
