I can solve the cube but I still look at algorithms provided in the video of pogobat. I want to speedcube but where do I start? Please give me some links that are easy to understand.
 
You need to do those algs so much that you don't need to look at the video anymore, so that you remember them yourself. Then follow that method (pogobat's method) until you can do the cube in about 55 seconds. Then, only THEN, consider a new method :)
 
yeah try to beat the minute with that method, get used to turn the cube and do those algorithms fast with fingertricks.
And about learning the algorithm, learn the movement not the notation, read the algorithm while excecuting it, and read less and less, after a few times you should be able to do it with out looking at the notation and you can then work on that algorithm, your grip, your speed and you can practise it, so that you do it without thinking much about it.

Don't go to fast, you can learn ONE algorithm fast, the second in short time becomes harder, the practise in learning algorithms starts later when you got for 78 OLLs/PLLs or other methods that will require a lot algorithms too. But that will take some weeks to come to.
 
Also, I'd advise that you use this beginner's guide rather than Pogobat's, because the last layer with his method takes a long time to complete, and when you become to used to that method, you might find it difficult to transition to Fridrich.
