well you got the basics down at least :) You got a long way to go, though. Check youtube for some tutes on synthesis, I know you've made some wobbles but it's all about understanding what goes into making those sounds rather then the process used to create a specific sound. Also, a few tutes on mixdowns would be helpful. I'm not sure what DAW or synths you are using, but some I'd suggest are Massive by Native instruments, Sylenth by Lennar Digital and Sytrus and/or Harmless by image line (you may have some or all these already :D ). They're the main ones I use. Also some effects plugins like Ohmicide, Camel Crusher/camelphat and dblue glitch are pretty good.

Learn your DAW inside out, and don't let anyone coax you into switching DAW's because they say one is better than the other, they're basically the same. How you use the DAW is what really matters. With synthesizers, find out what certain ones are good at and use them creatively. I use Sytrus for most of my gnarly, distorted sounding bass growls since it's FM capabilities are awesome for it. I also use FL Studio so Sytrus works better than Massive or FM8 with the DAW. I use massive for wet sounding vowel synths, reese basses and for it's sample and hold feature but that's about it. I use Sylenth for most of my lead synths/plucks etc. because it's easy to get nice sounding leads with wide atmostphere via it's quality stereo separation and panning features. If you use FL then toxic biohazard is also good for that kind of stuff, it also has FM capabilities which is awesome. Look up proper filtering aswell. Using filtering in interesting ways can add a lot to your tracks.

Sorry about the rant, thought I'd be a nice guy and point you in the right direction :corndance:
