    ​i got this message in my yt inbox. 20 dollars a vid sounds too good to be true for me to post the link in my yt videos. what do you guys think? scam? does anyone know if this link for the pole tricks book is legit?? thank you! :

    Hey Pixi Lou My Name is L-J (Lisa-Jane) and I've been watching your new Youtube video this morning from the U.K and think your 'awesome' !!!! Well Done !!! xx How would you like to make a few dollars per video just by posting a relevant link underneath ? Try posting the link for a simple A-Z guide of Pole Dancing Moves on you latest video and I will pay you $20 to your paypal account….. how does that sound ??? :))) Then in a week if your happy, simply email me back and maybe we can make a deal where I can pay you per video ?? http://tinyurl.com/bnxj8ek Have a great day !! Best Wishes L-J

    Well as long as it isn't sending anyone a virus or getting information stolen if they try to buy something from that site, it could be legit. A good way to test is to see if the money comes through. If not, just take the links off the videos. I wouldn't necessarily feel comfortable endorsing something I didn't know anything about though, so thats your call. It says the payment is secure, but you can't even get the product without a credit card, most places allow paypal, why would she pay you with it but not allow others to pay her through it? Aside from fees which are just a part of commerce. So iffy looking I don't know lol. I know I have never heard of this site before… It does have all her photos, credentials, etc on it though. If it were me, I'd probably give it a shot and see if it panned out. And I would check the link regularly to make sure noone switched it to an xxx site or anything after the fact…

    i'd ask for more information. They should have provided you with their email if they were serious, not just a link.

    I don't like the explanation for Apprentice that appears on the "example page" photo. Go into a split grip, jump, and hook your outside knee….. Eh. I wouldn't buy the book, thats one thing.

    It does sound like they are trying to profit off of you in some way. Maybe by creating a website and asking for people to pay for vids, kind of like Veena? But in a shady way obviously. I am not assuming, but it does sound "fishy". I'd be wary of the situation.

    The girl with the book is not the same person who contacted you, isn't that a little strange to begin with?

    And…it would be crazy of her paying you per view or even per click on that link considering how easy it would be for you to take advantage of this. You could sit there clicking I guess and make her pay for it.

    I would probably not do it since it's just weird 🙂

    Sorry I misread a bit I think. It was not per view I guess but per video. But it's still strange because as you say 20 dollars a vid is a lot for just creating a simple link.

    Yes, many people are desperate about money in a tough world of course. And maybe if they'll send this to a lot of polers, at leat some of them will create that link and the page get some more visits.  All we can do is to keep poling :).
