I can't understand what's wrong with this? Any advice? .social-links { padding=15px; margin=10px; }

I actually can't see my mistake anyone have a better idea?

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>List Example</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
  </head>
  <body>

    <a href="#" class = "social-links">Follow me on Twitter!</a>
    <a href="#" class = "social-links" >Send me an Email!</a>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
.social-links {
      padding=15px;
      margin=10px;
}

You're really close!

In CSS, properties and values are separated by colons (":") instead of equal signs ("="). Just fix that and you'll pass the final task of the challenge.

In your stylesheet you wrote the = sign istead of the : sign

And because a is a inline element you need to change display to inline-block for padding and margin on each side.

For more information look to the course: layout
