Can't fix it

I do not know why it doesn't work. I tried different way, but I'm still stuck. Please, help!

app.js 
let inputValue = document.getElementById('linkName').value;
inputValue.innerHTML = document.getElementById('link').value;
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">
            <label>Link Name:</label>
            <input type="text" id="linkName">
            <a id="link" href="https://teamtreehouse.com"></a>
        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

Hey, your first line for the first part of the challenge is correct. This was my solution for the second part:

let inputValue = document.getElementById('linkName').value;
document.getElementById('link').textContent = inputValue;

Let me know if that doesn't work still.
