I don't have a good typing speed but i have started to improve ever since i have joined mylot. What about you, do you have a good typing speed? It must be helpful to earn more money if your speed is good. Can you give me any tips to improve my speed?

i would say yes, i have a good typing speed... its required in my job... i have an average of 70wpm but in a good day, i can go even 75-80 wpm... mind you, i don't actually type this fast before... i practiced almost 2 hours everyday... like i said, its required... within a month's time, i have 50wpm speed then accelerated to my typing speed now... i dont know if it helps in earning but i do know it helps a lot in other things, like i don't need to look at the keyboard anymore while im typing so i can type with the lights off... see what i mean!

i practice using typingtutor... we have it in our office. there's also an application in friendster. i forgot the name but you can practice through it. try browsing the applications in friendster. we also have a software called "Mavis Beacon teaches typing". its a step by step instruction to accurate typing. i practiced with typingtutor 2 hours a day.

Frankly speaking, I have a good typing speed. I've learned it while I was still in studying. It has been very helpful for me, like for example here in mylot. I could respond more to discussions. I suggest that you practice more. Always remember "Practice makes perfect". HUGZ!

I dont think I have a fast typing speed, but I think now is the fastest I have ever typed. I think it might be a bout 45 words per minute. I sometimes get ahead of my fingers though and end up having typos that detract from my speed. I do like to type on mylot.

I was not good in typing before.I was very slow.But when i started to use computer for net surfing day by day i got use to it and become better.Not that great but i am doing good on it.I guess you just have to do it often and then you will find yourself better in doing it.

Actually I don't have a good typing speed, even when I tested it in a typin test, i only got aboy 50 wpm, and that's quite low compare to my GF who could reach 72 WPM, well, but i guess it's enough to write a lot in Mylot, and earn enough money lol :) How to improve the writing speed, I don't know it very well, but I found that playing typershark and having the tutorial of typing is quite a help. At least you can start to type without too many mistakes, so it will save time of editing or hitting backspace
