Very frustrated- Cannot see it.
I have clearly missed something,
Watching the training video about shortening affiliate links and 'Pretty Links' in the Affiliate Bootcamp, 2nd course of 7.
Kyle talks about every training and blog page having buttons including one that says affiliate link and it's a shortened one. Like the screenshot below.
Is it me? Am I looking in the wrong place?
The video shows then training page with all these buttons! I have watched it 3 times now and I am no wiser. I got the Pretty Links plug in. Did that step by step, created the links, then when I click on them it says link has expired.
If anyone has a clue about what I am trying to do I will be eternally grateful.
Maybe I'm just too tired to work it out, it's a long time since 4.50 a.m and it's heading for 11.00 p.m now. Time to give up for the night.
Tomorrow is another day.

Hi Linda I have the exact same problem. Very frustrating. Will see what comments u get so I can get thru this one too. Ugh!
Hi, Linda.
Go into your pretty links plugin page.
Click on 'Create Pretty Link.'
New page will appear.
In the field marked 'Target URL' paste the link that you want to make smaller.
Next, in the field marked 'Pretty Link' add a suffix for your new link. Make sure to separate multiple words with a hyphen and keep it all lower case.
You can give the new link being created a 'Title' and you can also make some notes for reference. These will all show on your Pretty Links main page after the new link has been created.
Next, just click on 'Create' (blue button on the lower left).
Voila...new, smaller pretty link created.
Let us know how you make out.
Kindest regards,
Paul.
Linda, great choice, to sleep on it!
By, this time of night, I'm seeing cross-eyed!
The answers often come, when you just let it go, ...right before you're about to sleep, ...Bing!! That"s how these things, usually happen for me! LOL
Good night, Linda!...or should I say, Scarlett?

I usually work until 11.00 p.m but it had been an extra busy day.
Thank you will try again today, now I have slept well.
That's a long day, Linda! I would get some sleep and look at it again tomorrow. I'll be on and would be happy to try to help, too.
It's a usual day, maybe up half hour earlier than usual. Feel much more alert now, thank you.
Just checking in... I'm on now (it's only 9am here). Were you able to figure this out? I see Paul went through the rundown below. Hope you are having a good day today.

Thank you, not had much chance to log on as taking care of a toddler grandson but will be having another go with the instructions.
Thank you for letting me know, I thought I was going daft.
I just wasted all that time looking for it and watching the video again. There doesn't seem to be a pretty links lite either, Has that gone too, do you know?
I am using Pretty Links - the free one, so I believe it's still working without having to pay for the upgrade.
What is it you are having problems with?
Perhaps I can assist?
Thank you. I followed instructions, updated the post then tried it but each time it said the link had expired. Most odd didn't happen on the video.
Will try again today.

Did you sort it out?
Yes I did Dalibor. I got rid of the pretty links plug in, problem solved. Lol.
Lol, hehe, ok :)
