First, learn the fundamentals. Use a typing course (keys covered) until you can touch type about 10wpm. The point of this is not to become a fast touch typer but to develop a muscle memory for where each key is so that you're never hunting for a key.

Then practice. Practice doesn't have to be a typing course; it can be something you want to do anyway - programming, transcription, writing. For me it was chat rooms as a kid. The more you practice, the more fluent you'll get.

Again, to be a fluent typist, you don't have to be a perfect touch typist. The important thing is not to be hunting and pecking. It's ok to develop your own style that uses different fingers than the recommended ones to hit specific keys (everyone's hands are different after all) or to look down at the keyboard now and again to reorient yourself.

But it sounds like what you need to do more of is practice.
