On typing-based earning platforms like Kashoo, your speed and accuracy directly determine how much you earn. Every correct answer counts; every mistake means a task not credited. Improving your typing skills is one of the best investments you can make for your online earning journey. Here is how to do it practically and for free.
Why Typing Speed and Accuracy Matter
On Kashoo, each task has a timer. The goal is not just to type fast — it is to type the prompt accurately within the time limit. Members who can type the answer confidently and correctly on the first attempt complete far more tasks in a session than those who second-guess themselves or make frequent errors.
Even a modest improvement — say, increasing from 20 to 35 words per minute with high accuracy — can meaningfully increase your hourly earnings.
1. Learn Proper Finger Placement (Touch Typing)
Most casual typists use two or three fingers and look at the keyboard constantly. Touch typing — using all ten fingers with your hands resting in the "home row" position (ASDF and JKL;) — is significantly faster once learned. It feels awkward at first, but practice daily and it becomes natural within a few weeks.
Free sites like TypingClub.com and Keybr.com will teach you proper technique step by step at no cost.
2. Practice Daily, Even for Short Sessions
Fifteen minutes of focused typing practice every day is more effective than an occasional two-hour session. Typing is a muscle memory skill — consistency is key. Use free practice sites like:
- 10FastFingers — competitive typing tests
- TypeRacer — race against other users
- Monkeytype — clean, customizable practice
3. Do Not Sacrifice Accuracy for Speed
On earning platforms, accuracy matters more than raw speed. A wrong answer earns nothing. Train yourself to type deliberately and correctly, and speed will naturally increase over time. Rushing and making errors is counterproductive.
4. Familiarize Yourself with the Task Content
On Kashoo, tasks involve specific content: Filipino usernames, Philippine municipalities, numbers, and animal names. Spend time reading through common Philippine municipality names and animal names so they are familiar when they appear. Recognition is faster than decoding an unfamiliar word character by character.
5. Use a Physical Keyboard When Possible
While Kashoo works on mobile, a physical keyboard — even a basic budget one — allows for faster, more accurate typing than a touchscreen. If you primarily use a phone, investing in a Bluetooth keyboard is worth considering once you start earning consistently.
Track Your Progress
Most typing practice sites show your words-per-minute (WPM) and accuracy over time. Aim for at least 30–40 WPM with 95%+ accuracy to work comfortably on platforms like Kashoo. Many experienced members reach 50–70 WPM.
