"The only person you are destined to become is the person
you decide to be"
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
People like to watch other people doing things really well, and watching someone with amazing keyboard skills is popular on YouTube and other platforms.
We guess that you’re not a professional cameraman or video editor, but you can still produce something that a lot of people will want to see – and hear.
A lot of people could want to see your video
A video of The Ultimate Typing Championship final held in 2010 has had 15,463,520 views at the time of writing - see ‘Fastest Typist: Ultimate Typing Championship Final 2010 By Das Keyboard’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9EXEpjSDEw
www.bsbltyping.com run regular Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Big Match Cash Prize Fastest Typist Competitions, giving away thousands of pounds to competitors all over the world. There’s plenty of opportunity to practice and experiment with producing the best possible fast typing videos for a big audience and potentially generating income for you from the video platforms.
Lots of material to use in your videos
There are also 4 different types of Typing Tests, 6 Tests in each and all in 14 languages. Each of our typing input screens are feature rich and can be configured with different colours and different layouts to suit you so there’s plenty of ways to make a unique speed typing video.
There are plenty of interesting items on the bsbltyping.com to incorporate in your video – the bsbltyping.com Top 10 World’s Fastest Typist List and Fastest Typist Highest Earners list for example so look round and you’ll find an interesting image or fact to include.
If you have top ranking speed, make it about winning – ££££ CASH!
Everyone is interested in money, so when you make your videos about our Cash Prize Competitions don’t forget to include ‘£’ in the title – ‘How I won (or nearly won £10 (or whatever) in bsbltyping.com Cash Prize Competition’ or ‘Typing 100WPM with 100% accuracy in £30 Monthly Competition’ or ‘Tips to help you win £200 in bsbltyping.com BIG MATCH’. These are just some suggestions, it’s up to you what titles you give to your videos.
Typing Tests – if you don’t have top ranking speed, make it about accuracy
There are two elements to good typing skills. The most talked about is words per minute, but perhaps the most important is accuracy. So, even if you aren’t blazingly fast at typing, see if you can get a high accuracy score. Try for 100%.
And if you don’t have top ranking speed or top ranking accuracy, make it about fun
Simple. Just say that you enjoy typing, you’re an average to good typist and this is what average to good typing looks like. Or do some really bad typing! You never know, a zero score could go viral. ‘My name is Giovani Giorgio’! - or the same with a perfect score.
The outline specification for each video
Some ideas for videos to create. You’ll see the buttons for the different Modes of typing input screens down the side of the typing input interface screen - the actual competition or typing test screen where you do your typing. There’s a new ‘Expert Mode’ coming soon, along with other features so there's always the opportunity to do an 'update' video. There's lots of opportunity to do various series of videos.
