Hi knightwing2600 -  Glad to hear from you! I'm sure someone from the community will stop by to chime in and provide some additional sagely advice. In the meantime, to confirm, have you tried running through our tutorial yet ? It's a tish bit dusty and there are some minor issues (it's in the works to be updated), but it still does a pretty good job of running you through Roll20 from a GM's perspective. Additionally, Adam Koebel, our resident GM, has a nice video reviewing the tutorial and provides some additional great advice throughout. You can check that out here . Beyond that, was there anything in particular you need help with? Perhaps how to navigate layers? Dynamic Lighting? Macros? 
Hey, how's it going! I don't mind chatting about the basics of running a game if you want to add me on discord (in my bio).

What parts of Roll20 are you having difficulty with? General GM advice is more geared towards being asked over on Reddit.
There are so many styles of play and prep, that this is very hard to pin down. You may be better served looking at some blogs or vlogs, search "DM advice" on You Tube, there will be several hundred choices. All of the sources will disagree, many with themselves. It is like explaining architecture with dance...
I'm a well versed dancitecht. If you need any help, though I'm sure you've found it already, message me. My biggest bit of advice- roll with it. Have fun.
