Would highly recomend going to some of the free/donation based Goenka 10 days retreats. A couple of them will help a lot deeping the practice. I can't even imagine not going to silent retreats and trying to learn meditation from threads and videos, seems really difficult.
After the Goenka retreats maybe check Banthe Vimalaramsi videos he makes it easy. Or read Webu Sayadaw (A true Adept).
It takes time and effort and patience. But retreats are important to start in my opinion at least for the vast mayority of people.
I am more into Zen/Anapana meditation but Vipassana helped me set the roots strong.
As a good friend told me 'the important thing is to keep walking' to never stop. Even you go slow , if you fell, if its hard, if its easy, standing up and just keep walking to the One infinite creator.
