Hoplinks are making me want to give up Affiliate Marketing before i have even started?

[sroberts_1975]

Hi, I am new to posting here and new to affiliate marketing.
I have been trying to get promotions going but have hit a brick wall with placing codes into content I want to advertise?
Specifically <a href="http:// MY AFFILIATE LINK CODE HERE title="Buy" alt="Buy">Buy</a>.
More importantly the <a href=" and </a> begining and end.
I'm sometimes ok getting them into things like WordPress, depending on the link providers, but when it comes to other things like e-book makers or Canva or various other content creators...... I can't even convert them in bit. ly or other link shorteners as they say invalid links?
I really could do with some advice here as its making me give up before I have even started :-( :-(
thanks

Welcome to AffiliateFix!
Sales are not the only thing you can do to be an affiliate. If you are new, I suggest you look at CPA (Cost Per Action/Acquisition)

Also find a good proven way of getting traffic to the offers.
Don't forget these are real people you are pushing offers/sales to, would you complete your thing?

I was more looking for advice on how to get these types of links incorperated into content so i can publish them to gt started?
Or am i in the wrong place?
thanks

Not all platforms use html. Could that be contributing to you problem?

What I did with the last canva image I made was take the finished graphic, put it in Word because I wanted to create a beveled CTA button and hyperlinked it there. Depends on what you're wanting to do and where you're wanting to put it. So, you might be able to create your banner (or whatever) and link it in the final destination.
