How can I get my typing speed up? I've been typing for 8 years now and can't get past 50wpm?
Answers:
I'm very fast - about 90 words a minute. Unfortunately I make so many mistakes! So if you're accurate, don't worry too much. Better to be accurate than type out page after page with lots of mistakes.
short hand typing
mavis beacon is GREAT
if you touch type then you'll need to practice, I'm afraid. If you don't touch type then go on a course or get a free tutorial from the net.
Honestly practice makes perfect. There are some speed typing techniques you can try to work on when it comes to practice including closing your eyes and typing this same sentence over and over again.

People may have to type at their jobs but how much time in a day is actually spent typing? Unless you have a job such as data entry, it's not usually as much as you would think. So anyway my advice is to practice every single day, at least one hour a day and your accuracy and speed will improve over time.
perhaps just type with all you fingers and use the chatting programmes to practice
I know of a person who don't know how to type but own 50 horses and a very big business. You are spending your time focusing on the wrong thing.
Just to let you get the point deep into your head.or skull. It's like spending time to learn how you can polish the shiniest boot or making a table at Mcdonalds shine.

practice like heck
keep the practice up ,each day do a little
Hi, get Mavis Beacon and practice 2 -3 times a day. I did and i can type about 80 or more wpm(seriously) :)
Practice practice practice.
Not a popular answer but it is honest and probably true.
I started two finger typing and then added additional fingers as I went along. The hardest transition was to lift my head up and stop looking at the keyboard. So..
If you practice answering lots of people's questions here you will eventually get faster. Keep it up! You can do it !
