Hi Terry,
Have you changed your theme? I ask because my theme allows me to customize the default setting for my links and use a different color. I'm not sure all themes have this feature but you might give it a shot.

find that way works great it lets you put links in where you need them without it affecting some of the places which do not like a lot of links.

You have a point, as if people won't know they are links, they won't even think of clicking on what you want them to. I had that problem with a theme once, and I manually changed the links to a different colour as my theme functions were rather limited.

Regarding your question, you can change the color of your links. Depending on the theme, you can go to Appearance > Customize. On the Customize screen, there usually is a Colors option on the left sidebar.

Go to the Colors option. Find the setting for Colors For Links. You can change it there

Then make them obvious, for instance like changing the text color to blue or underlining, or including a call to action just immediately before the link or increasing font size to acceptable figures.

There several other ways of making your links more visible.
