There are a few reasonable options...
1. If your sponsor allows it, load them in a frame so that you can launch your own blur consoles when a visitor enters, or exit consoles when a visitor leaves. If you're converting like 1:40 and getting $35 per trial, then this is the best option.
2. Send to an AVS of your own, where you can add your own email boxes to the tour, use blur and exit consoles, upsells (casino, toys, merchandise, 1-on-1, phonesex) in the member area ... and the promise of thousands of other sites does wonders. Standard AVS is good because they rules are less strict. Gold AVS will get the visitors access to other good quality sites rather than just banner farms with 30 pics, but the rules are more strict so upsells would have to be less harsh if exist at all. Sucks to sign up for a quality AVS with pics, video, chat, etc, to find out that the other 200,000 sites are just banner farms with 30 pics.
If you do decide to go for an AVS, try to go with one that has a recurring base rather than a $20 for the whole year deal. But remember that if your individual site doesn't have enough content to retain members alone, they may well cancel when or if they find out that the other 200k sites are just plain bad.
Using your own membership site, with the AVS, it is good to have all the extra chances of making a sale. Setting up as a small paysite is also an option, but then you have the problem is that you must have enough content to retain members without relying on the other sites as you'd have in an AVS -- which will be expensive. Also you'll be paying more for hosting (more content than an AVS), more for content, a cc processor %, and probably be paying for design and site security too. You'd also have the disadvantage of not being able to upsell anything and everything unlike a standard AVS.
If you can send yourself a steady 20 membersihps per day, then it is just about worth setting up your own paysite.
