Before you start with your IELTS preparation, take a practice test. Taking this practice test will help you identify your strengths and weaknesses.

To start IELTS preparation at home as a beginner, you must use all the tools at your disposal, such as podcasts, YouTube, etc.

Work on your overall English speaking, writing, listening, and reading capabilities, and do not just limit yourself to a syllabus or guide.
