So i been posting videos on youtube for a while now and they do rather well, but recently some one offered that if i put their link in my videos they'll pay me 10% of w/e it is he is selling.
so is this a scam or no?

    It's hard to know for sure, but it could be legitimate. I've seen this idea (buying links on popular YouTube videos) recommended in some marketing ebooks as a low-cost alternative to PPC advertising.

    If I were you I would try to find out more about the person making the offer, and see if they sound trustworthy. If your instincts say yes, give it a try.

    I'd consider just selling the link for a fixed cost for a specific length of time (if I approved of the link).

    If you can't track their sales how will you know what they really owe you?

    I would go with a flat fee rather than a commission and you'll
    know right away if the offer is for real or not.

    Ask what they are linking to. If it's an affiliate product you may do better by becoming an affiliate and linking to it yourself.

    Tell him to pay upfront if you are worry that it might be a scam.

    It's probably a cpa affiliate that wants his link on your video. Actually his action isn't illegal though you may want to be sure about the fellow.
