I'm not sure how that converts for you but my experience is checking account joins are no good... and a huge percentage of them chargeback. I got rid of checking joins back in 2009 I think... maybe different now?

The thing though... is all that artwork and effort you put into your pre-join... why not put the same energy into join form?

And who told you to put recurring... non-recurring package descriptions on your pre-join page? I'm just confused why you don't have a big ass... join my site button. Did I get passed by and little, tiny, buttons are the new *in*?

You're right and also you're right.

When I started doing membership sites, a lot of my core demo didn't have credit cards. Not only were checks huge, but I used to do pretty decently with up-selling credit card leads on my join pages. As the industry matured, traffic from the join of a site called GothicSluts.com was not what those credit card folks wanted any more. Everyone has debit cards now, though, so that whole checks thing is a legacy holdover that needs some work.

I find that a lot of non porn surfers (and quite a bit of my audience is outside the mainstream of adult) are scared they could somehow get charged if they click a join button with no explanation.

But you are also totally right, especially with the evolution of mobile, that those teeny buttons are... Well, teeny.
