I don't have much variation of serve, I want to learn a long serve with high backspin because I have plenty of short backspin serves but not a single long one.

Hi Sohan,

The key is to get the ball to bounce close to you on your side of the table.  Hit the ball quite flat with a little bit of backspin.  The combination of speed and flatness will make it feel like a lot of backspin to your opponent.  It is difficult to generate a lot of backspin because the ball will tend to float off the end of the table with too much backspin and speed.
 
We have made a previous Ask the Coach video response for our Premium members. Long, fast serve with lot of back spin.

No Spin Serve

It may sound like a bad idea but the no spin serve can be effective when put together with a range of spin serves. In fact, this is a must have in your arsenal of serves.
