1. Get a camera case and extra media cards. This will allow you to take your camera everywhere safely and you'll always have plenty of pictures free.
2. Invest in a gorilla. It's a flexible tripod that can be wrapped around stationary objects so you can be in some of your own photos as well.
3. Take pictures in the moment you see them and avoid staging. I love taking pictures of insects that happen to come into my house.
4. Format your card when you have removed all the pictures. Simply deleting them can ruin future picture quality.
5. Have fun and be creative with orientation and subject material.

Know your stuff.
Practice by just taking tons and tons of pictures
But you gotta know your stuff. (aperture, shutter speed, iso, manual photography)
And just go nuts with creativity.

Try a polarizing filter and a graduated neutral density filter. They screw on to the front of the lens. The polarizing filter turns the sky a deep blue and the graduated neutral density filter keeps the picture the same brightness.
The obvious answer is you can't learn the craft by getting some "tips". You will have to put some effort into real learning if you want to advance. Just shooting shooting shooting won't really help much either if you have no real critique and repeat the same mistakes over and over. I see a lot of that on Flickr, pages and pages of the same thing without improvement. Don't fall into that trap!
Take a class and/or join a local group if possible. Mentoring and feedback on the local level is important. You can ask for critique on line, even here in Y!A but the responses are dubious at best. Visit the library or bookstore for a book or two on basic photography and learn some technical stuff, like shutter speed, ISO, aperture, etc, and some artistic stuff like composition and color theory. Then keep learning and practicing. Best wishes!

Just keep shooting, as much as you can, and try and up your work online (flickr?), so that you can ask for feedback and critiques. There are also loads of free resources adn tutorials online.
Further, you may want to start saving up for a DSLR.
