We want to hear from you!

Following on from our meeting with The Scottish Government's Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Affairs Committee at the end of January we were asked for further information and input from members with experience of monetising digital work during the pandemic, from March 16 2020 or the last day you were able to operate with a live audience present.

To provide this information we would like to hear from members with experience of charging for online work, to know how willing audiences have been to pay and how far the income generated goes to cover the cost of creating the work. 
 
If that is you, then please take the following quick survey to help us represent this situation appropriately.

Please note: all data in this form is anonymised and no one organisation or project will be referenced in any discussions or advocacy without their prior agreement.
