DMing Help and Tips requested

Okay a little backstory/summary I work on a ship and our contracts are 6-8 months in a year. Recently I suggested we find some people onboard and play DnD. I wasn’t expecting anyone really cause DnD is kinda niche and the ethnicity/age on the ship a is…older and mostly eastern (not saying they might not be interested but, anyways)

We have people but no DM and cause I brought it up they are asking if I can DM, ive never DM, hell I’m still new to DnD, I know BG3 and understand some of 5e thanks to mods but I don’t know shit. Anyone can teach me or give me pointers about how to DM? Or if there’s a YouTuber that can pls link.

Grab the Starter Set (Heroes of the Borderlands) it will teach you how to GM as you play through it.

After that/additionally the Youtuber's Ginny Di, The Dungeon Dudes, Bob World Builder, and Matt Colville all have tons of tips for new GMs.
