Then after a few months of doing it and you start hitting around 50 wpm, start working on using your right pinky to really start focusing on hitting the backspace key every time quickly.

Also, a piece of advice, really work on those keys like x,z,q,c,v at first.

Make sure that you put in at least 20 mins a day for like a half a year, and constantly make sure that you are hitting the right keys with the right fingers because it surely makes a difference once you start to get it. I suggest using rapid typing tutor and creating your own custom courses with random book text that you can find online, there are some keys that it won’t allow you to put in, but overly all it will help a ton. What I learned is if you get a typing program, it can help greatly improve your typing speed if you stick with it over time. Last week I was sitting at 78 wpm avg on a site that does random typing speed tests where you can compete vs 4 or 5 other people at a time :). So, I went all the way back to the beginning and started to learn the correct way with proper finger placement and I can now type over 70 wpm routinely and have hit speed bursts of up to 150 wpm. So, I up and decided one day that I wanted to see if I could become any better at it and maybe open up some job opportunities for myself that involved typing for a livng. I didn’t learn the proper way and just learned to type without any set pattern and realized that I could never type over 50-55 wpm tops :). I just recently tried to change my typing speed after learning how to as a child(re-learning 26 years later).
