Everybody thinks I type ridiculously fast, and I don’t know how it got that way. I used Type to Learn in 5th grade, but I started getting really good at typing in 7th grade. Now I don’t even have to look at the monitor to type, much less the keyboard. All I can say is practice, practice, practice. It also helps if you have no job, and are on the internet 24/7 (almost) like me. ; )
Is there any specific reason you want to type faster, like you need to for your job, writing a paper, etc? It’s not really bad to be a slow typer.
