Okay, so in a few weeks I'm supposed to GM a pathfinder game for some people who have never played before. Any tips or resources you guys could give me to be a good GM? Also have no idea what sort of campaign i will run them through, so any ideas on that front would be most welcome.

Give Robin's Laws of Good Game Mastering a read. Exploit tools and frameworks like Five Room Dungeons. Rip off your favorite media if you're strapped for ideas/inspiration.Consider not running PF.

Literally everything on this list. Especially the spoiler text. I realize it's free online but there are better games that are also free online.
well i do have all the source books, It's only that i've never GM'ed before
As far as resources go, I find these two sites to be very useful.

The name generators are great for coming up with names on the fly, but it also has tons of other generators that you can just keep spinning in order to generate ideas for NPCs and adventures, and even just make entire dungeons.

If you don't have preferred music of your own (Movie/Video Game soundtracks like Lord of the Rings work great), this site is great for ambience, with the added bonus of being really easy to find what kind of song you might need. The soundpad is also neat, though I haven't really put it to much use.

Be sure to sneakily insert your fetish into the game. This will help you bond with the players on a level you never though possible.
