This is a follow-up article to the last article titled How I Turned An Interest Into A Product I Could Sell. The first article shows us that as parents it is possible to learn to use the computer and in turn teach it to our children. We can also take that a step further and use it to our family's benefit. This article is a review of the Nail It Now web site offering the fabulous tutorials discussed in the last article.
When you first arrive at Nail It Now the first page is clean and easy to read. It is also color coded and therefore very easy to navigate around. There are three different areas that you can check out. First; The Typing Tutor (green), Second; Microsoft Word Tutorials (blue), and Third; Web Site Design (orange).
I had an overwhelming desire to go straight for the Web Site Design but I maintained my eagerness and started with the Typing Tutor. This is the product that the designer, Georgie Farmer, is selling. I am very careful about the products that I endorse but this is certainly one of them. If you have a grade school aged child who needs or wants to learn to type - this is it! The cost is exceedingly low! Before you buy you should try the Free Preview. I did try it and I was amazed. I learned to type in the 10th grade ~ yes that was a very long time ago ~ but this little preview has made a difference for me. The keyboard is broken down into steps and then color coded. Georgie has added her own little formula to teach you touch typing. I have to tell you that I still remember the lesson even though I was there only to preview the site. Did you know there are only 10 words in the dictionary using only the letters a s d f & g?
I like this typing tutor so very much that I'm going to be enrolling my daughter. She is in the second grade and they are trying to teach her touch typing. She's not getting it very well using their formula. I think with Georgie's system she will get it and succeed and build her confidence. I have been looking at other typing tutorials in the stores. I think in comparison to what I have seen and we have actually tried, the Nail It Now formula is by far the best, especially for kids. Did I mention the cost? You are not going to find the same quality for this price, at least I haven't.
