What I tend to find helpful is to pretend I'm doing an ollie at first. But instead of just sliding your finger forward, slide it forward and to the corner of the nose for it to flip. Also, try to lift your middle finger off the tail so that it'll be able to flip. Sorry if this isn't that helpful, I can't really explain it.

If not, you could try this video, I learned it from him

Starting off with an ollie and then doing the flip is really important, I used to try adn do it directly from the ground but doing the ollie motion helps a lot.
I'm just starting to get them consistent after a few days.

Took me months to learn how to kickflip.

I remember when I did a perfect one over a gap. And I palmed it.

fakie kickflips use different finger movements because you already have the momentum going against your fingers. it would be counterproductive
