I try not to use "join now" buttons in galleries.
My philosophy is that the only thing that is going to get the user to click on anything is the content. If the surfer doesn't have some kind of connection with the content then you've lost him.
My buttons usually say 'Click here to download my movies' .. or 'Click here to see more pictures of me' etc. The text, buttons, links etc. should all be as if the content is speaking to the surfer. This is easier when it's a single model .. but you can be creative and figure it out when it's a reality series, hardcore or lesbian etc. as well.
With that said .. I never link to the join page. I link the surfer to the tour. It's not our job to sell the surfer.. just refer him. I don't think you'll have too much luck sending them directly to a page asking for their credit card info.
By the time the surfer has said to himself "I think I'm in love with this chick .. I gotta see more" he needs to a) be reassured that he's not gonna be ripped off and b) he needs to know that by paying he's going to get more of that content .. and not something else. As good as your gallery may be .. it can't do those things .. the paysite tour is there to fill that gap.
