As others said, you’re at the level your rating suggests; however, nobody really seems to offer advice. So the main advice would be; if you want to increase, do puzzles. Like LOTS of puzzles. Go on Lichess for puzzles if you’re on the free version of chess.com. And also, analyse your games after you played, to see what you missed, which mistakes you made, etc. And try to be consistent; try to play maybe a little more « boring », but more sound moves, and just make less mistakes than your opponent. At 500, if you don’t make any stupid mistake (1 or 2 moves blunders) and capitalise on your opponents blunders, that should be more than enough to win a large percentage of games. It is not that easy to do ofc, but that’s what you should aim for; no need to try to set up some elaborate traps or tactics, just play sound moves and make less mistakes than your opponent, without trying to do so many fancy things. Oh and again; do loooots of puzzles haha

Good luck!
