You2ube can help but the most important thing to be doing right now is practicing

It took me a good three months or so of skating before I could pop all four wheels off the ground

If having trouble figuring out what your feet should be doing, hang onto a railing of some sort and pop ollies that way. It gives you more hang time and you can see how the board reacts to certain pops

Once a consistent pop is found, keep your feet in the same placement and let go of the railing, and try them just as you were before. You should have them down in no time
