If I can offer a few others:
Learn the rules of the game
Not what hand beats what and who acts when, but the actual mechanics of the game. Do you know what a string bet is? Do you know what happens if you muck your winning hand before the loser gives up their cards? Do you know what happens if you throw out one oversize chip without erbalising your action? Do you know which is binding - what you do, or what you say?
Chances are, if you've only played online you won't have come across most of this stuff (I'm a live game dealer, BTW, so happy to explain any of the above if anyone's unfamiliar) and experienced live players can use it against you.
Try not to get bored
Again, if you're used to playing online, be aware that you'll be playing a lot less hands per hour live. Some people get the temptation to stray away from their usual game just because they haven't played a hand in the past half hour - try not to let that happen. Use the time to study your opponents instead. Or to master your chip tricks...
Learn some chip tricks
This may seem silly and cosmetic, but you'd be surprised... quite often, the people who look uncomfortable handling chips will get tagged as weaker players. Now maybe you can find a way to work that in your favour, but learning a couple of chip tricks just so you don't stand out won't hurt
