Licensee Instead of Freelancer
Traditional freelancing pays today. Typically, speed and volume are rewarded, with payment tied to individual assignments. Licensing, by contrast, builds with tomorrow in mind. It rewards continuity, strategy and long-term thinking.
It allows professionals to invest their effort into assets that grow in value and enable repeat returns rather than disappear after publication.
At Amazing Capitals, we license cities because well-developed expat city guides appreciate in value as their authority and audience expand.
The Difference in Practical Terms
In a standard freelance model, contributors rarely benefit from the ongoing performance of their content. They seldom have control over strategy and no ownership in the platform they help build.
As an Amazing Capitals Licensee, you receive exclusive rights to develop one capital city. You build editorial authority, create content that compounds in value and open multiple monetisation pathways tied directly to the growth of your city.
Entrepreneurial Leverage
Licensees remain independent and flexible. You decide how quickly to expand your city guide and how to structure your workload. The key advantage is leverage.
Each improvement made strengthens your city’s strategic presence, reputation and earning potential. Instead of trading hours for income, you are building a scalable expat media asset.
Explore how taking ownership of a city license can offer a flexible lifestyle built around focussed a business strategy.

HOW LICENSEES EARN
Licensees develop trusted partnerships around expat life as opposed to blindly selling ads. Approaching the topic hand in hand, the concept is built for ethical, aligned monetisation. Typical revenue channels are companies who wish to hire and city administration.
Staying in touch and getting together with others living in a similar situation can be important. Expat groups in social media are highly valuable sources for connecting. Socialising in the new location can include expat events, international clubs and popular spots to meet other international residents. All are available on the eGuides.
