There is a wealth of tricks on this site.
I would recommend finding a yoyo club if you can or getting someone else into Yo-Yo as well. Seeing someone do a trick in person is way easier than watching a video over and over again where you can’t change the angle to see what you want to see.
just started seriously mid Jan… starting to get into the Advanced stuff here on this site. And working to get the intermediate stuff where it is second nature. I can do it all but it’s hardly smooth.,
but to the lamen on the street… im the friggin yoyo dude…
perspective my friend
Yoyoing is a journey, not a destination
After you learn the trick list…the real yoyoing starts. Give it a few months, see how you like it, see how you progress…practice tricks that you think are cool.
Seriously don't worry about making progress because when you do get good at yoyoing then it's like it was yesterday that you first started. Yoyoing should be like other sports and beginners shouldn't really worry about this. In fact, I don't understand why people actually worry more about becoming good at yoyoing than sports like basketball or football.
Every day sports take at the very least a year to learn properly and know all the rules but nobody's really worried about learning them, on the other hand however, getting good at yoyoing is something that almost every beginner worries about. I think it probably has something to do with being extremely impressed with complicated tricks and not understanding what's happening to the string but the tricks become extremely clear when you learn them. Like rock the baby will look extremely complicated and cool the first time you see it but when you look at how the trick works or learn it, it looks incredibly simple. Yoyoing should also be fun and not worrying so don't worry one bit about it.
Also don't worry about only learning yoyoing from videos and from the internet and thinking that you'll never catch up with everyone else because that's exactly what I've done. I've never met anyone who's a proper serious yoyo player before except me and I'm not that worried about catching up. Anyway, everyone has their own pace that they learn at and different people have different situations happening in their life so everyone's completely different.
I actually live in Britain where the couple of yoyo clubs and events that exist are in England which I don't live in (I live in Scotland up north) and I think I might be just about almost the only serious yoyoer in Scotland (although Britain could fit into the United States about 50 times so I guess you could treat Britain as one state with no direct neighboring states beside it.)
Only videos here, too. I do have a friend that I yoyo with, but we’re at roughly the same skill level and tend to learn the same tricks sort of semi-independently of one another. He might show me the basics of a trick and I’ll walk away with those and practice… but more often, we don’t explain to each other well enough and just give each other links to videos anyhow. 
Good luck man and it’s all about your learning pace when your ready to finally think your “good”. Also tutorials on this website are great to find for tricks.
I can honestly say I’ll never be good. I’m still in the Advanced Part 1 and I’m being asked to perform in front of the whole school? There are always people that are going to be more advanced,but as long you believe that you’re good in the area you’re in,you should be good…
(Hope this made sense,I’m very bad at written speeches)
Right now I’m pretty good with my group of friends. Most of my friends stopped yoyoing but I still do, and they have fun watching. I have started making tricks and stringing up a freestyle to compete. It isn’t a winning freestyle IMO but I have fun picking and choosing pieces where I want them in combos. So I have fun doing what I do, but back to the topic I would say I got good IMO when I got horizontal down to the point i can sorta kinda do tricks.
