I'm pretty sure this model has been tried before... of showing the surfer a demo of the members area... it doesn't work. Gammacash used to do this... it never really caught on...
Think about it like a nightclub -- if you could look inside and see that there are maybe 2 hot chicks and they are both with some other guys -- you're not going to pay a $10 cover... The grass is always greener on the side you can't see hehe... U show the surfer the members area and it doesn't look so appealing anymore... Look at what amateur pages does -- the surfer gets teased with a strip show -- think of the psychology here.... it's personalized... not just about a matrix of pics in some browsing interface...
Maybe try your system on webcam sites... micropayments for private shows would work if it was an easy system... These cam girls have to coach the morons into paying for private 1 on 1... The easier it is to get money from these guys the better...
But all this speculation doesn't mean much -- either you can out-perform traditional membership systems (where most of the money is just made on the surfer forgetting to cancel the rebill) or you can't -- otherwise who will send traffic? Especially when token systems have been around FOREVER and that never really caught on...
