Is there a trick or something, I have been trying really hard, but the progress is not that remarkable.
Wider aperture (the smaller numbers) and faster shutter speeds.
If you're shooting long exposures (example: night photography, or long exposure of sky or water for smooth clouds/water), then always use a tripod. Otherwise, make sure your camera is set for the current light conditions by adjusting your settings accordingly.
I primarily adjust my aperture and shutter speed, although Scotty is weird and adjusts exposure compensation which works too. If you shoot Canon like me, though, it's unnecessarily time consuming to change your exposure compensation all the time.
ISO should usually stay the same for each condition if you want consistency. Depending on the camera you have, you may not have as much room for adjustment, but don't be afraid to set it higher than usual in unusually poor light conditions. Mine is always set at 100 because I'm always shooting outdoors. However, if I'm shooting indoors and I don't have lights my ISO setting usually ranges from 400-1600 depending on the exact conditions.
Ultimately, the thing you want to keep in mind to eliminate shake is a fast shutter speed. If you find your photos are too shaky/blurry, change your shutter speed and adjust the rest accordingly. I find my photos start to get hazy/shaky around 1/60-1/80s.
Long story short: IS and high shutter speed.
Tip, try to keep your shutter speed at 1/focal length (or faster if you have shaky hands). Example: 50mm lens = 1/50 shutter speed (at least). 200mm lens = 1/200 (at least).
You can use higher ISO or a wider aperture to get the shutter speed where you want it (or add more light if you can).
