If you currently type at 40-50 wpm, then it will require quiet a time to reach you to 100 WPM, but the road map is almost similar for even a typist with 60-70-80 wpm.
Consider hand posture
With wrong posture, when you type for longer sessions, you may feel pain on your wrist which can make you uncomfortable and slows down your speed. So get in a comfortable posture and also adjust your hand correctly so it can glide over the keys without much movements.

Don't Skip Accuracy
Accuracy is the most important aspect while typing, which has 95% of weightage to decide your typing speed. If you do a lot of mistakes with wrong key press and fix them, then whether you move your fingers or hand so fast, you will always feel stuck and cannot improve the speed.
So, doing some lessons regularly to train and build a great muscle memory will eventually help you in improving your accuracy, and a consistent practice of even 20-30 minutes a day will help you reach 100 WPM easily.
Practice Constantly
If you practice irregular though sometime 1hr other day for 5 min and so, this inconsistent practice wont give you any major speed improvements, this only can make you speed get stuck at some speed.
