I never modded any games before but I don't know what I am doing wrong, so I download this zip file of a mod, go inside and extract the folder inside to my desktop and then I copy paste it to the skyrim folder that appears when I write skyrim to the "search programs and files." and nothing happens. I saw this other guy doing local disc C> program files x86>steam>steamaps>common>skyrim and just copy paste the folder there, I also copy pasted the main thing with a white paper next to it in the folder there too, and I still couldn't get it to work, am I supposed to paste it inside another fodler that is already existing? Wouldda been so much easier if you guys made a tutorial video.

not all mods installs the same way, but most zips are supposed to be unrared into the data folder that is in the skyrim installation folder. So from your description you are putting it into the wrong map.

If you still find it hard I reccommend that you use the nexus download manager. Doesn't get much easier than that.
