I've lost momentum with my attempt to post videos on the internet?

I think I'm a fast learner but a novice. Now I've got the things I need except the know-how. I've downloaded Adobe Photoshop Elements 9, I have a real nice camcorder- but I lack the confidence and wish there were courses I could take. I mean some of the Youtube videos I've seen that are posted are by these hacks and numbskulls ; I don't know what to call them- But I say to myself, if they can do it I should certainly be able to. Can anyone steer me clear?
