Depends what stakes are you playing?
But for NL2 and NL5 its pretty much straight forward - tighten up your range from early positions, and widen up in late -use positional advantagem, dont do a lot of fancy plays and bluffs, and when you are good just go for it and value big - dont slowplay, mostly there are a lot of bad players who will just call and pay you off.

It is very possible to be good at both tournament and cash games. You just have to realize that the two are very different beasts, and adjust accordingly. You probably won't do well if you play the same way in both.
It is possible to be good at one and lackluster in the other.
If you are new to cash, play the lowest limits and learn to tighten up a lot. Since there isn't nearly as much pressure in posting ever-increasing blinds, the games tend to be tighter in cash games. don't bluff people, it doesn't work (in these lower stakes. later on, once you have a handle of how cash games tend to work and move to higher stakes (usually at least .10/.25), bluffing can start to factor in again). I've had people call me down with most of their stack with ace high before in .01/.02. So wait till you have a hand and bet the crap out of them.

Cash game players transition better to tournaments than vice versa, because cash game players are used to much intrincate post flop decision maker, while tournament players focus more on pre flop decision making. But I guess it's possible to be excellent at both. Poker is something anyone can do to some point in the long run with strategy and discipline.
Which I respect but I disagree. A hand like AQ, AJ, AT, KQ and PPs from 6s-2s are far easier to play than hands like JJ-77 for a beginner. Pretty much because these hands (jacks through sevens) are value hands, but you can only extract value from them and play them well post flop if you have better than solid ranges understanding, or you flop a monster like overpair to the board or sets - but if a beginner should only play post flop these hands if they see no overcards or flop a set, wouldn't it make them far closer to 66-22 than aces or kings?
Point is: on the hands of a beginner, hands like JJ-88 plays much closer to 77-22 than to AA-QQ.
For gods sake, Phil Hellmuth himself freezes out if there's a queen on the flop with JJ (and so does a lot of very experienced pros).
On the other hand, the game with AT+, KJ+, is much more simple than that. You either hit or you don't and you just build on these hands post flop given the strenght of your connection to the board (these hands often give you TP on the flop), or your skill edge. For a beginner it translates as if hit or miss, making small c-bet bluffs or river bluffs in position if your opponent has shown passivity.
I tend to categorize three types of starting hands, when playing ABC poker:
1- Monsters - AA, KK, AK, QQ = play from any position, play them strongly.
2- Hands that flop very well - AT+, KT+, QJ, JT = play them in position. Play them with caution. Exercise a lot of pot control (check behind in position, blocking bets out of position)
3 - Implied odds hands and hands that are strong but difficult to play - for a beginning player that should be exclusively pocket pairs and extend from 22-JJ. Play sets stronger than aces. Fold if you don't have edge in aggression or position (or don't hit a set) = Play them from any position. Never limp with them. If you face a three bet, call if effective stacks are 150 BB+ AND you're last to act pre flop, fold if below that (may vary if it's tournament play or cash games). If facing a four bet, call if effective stack sizes are 300 BB+ AND you are last to act PF. If you're up against a 4-bet and have people behind you to act, fold.
