Looking for advice as a brand new Dungeon Master /u/MuchSaltYes DnD: Roll for Initiative!

Hi all, I have found a group of players that are interested in playing DnD for the first time. So I’m going to run a game for them. But I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. I wouldn’t say I’m terrible at it, but I’m certainly not the most creative person. I know there’s pre-baked worlds, encounters, etc. But I’m not in the loop on whats good, especially for a new DM. I would hate for their first experience to feel really sloppy. Does anyone have any recommendations about the pre-made world books? Or any advice in general, I would certainly appreciate it. If you have any questions for me about anything I asked, I’ll answer ASAP.

I will also add, I’m not a expert on DnD. I’ve played a little. But most of my knowledge comes from listening to a ton of DnD podcasts and some casual research.
