Want to become a licensed social media influencer? It’s easier now than ever before.
Ajman Media City Free Zone has launched a Social Media Influencer package, with the goal of making the process for aspiring influencers as easy as possible when obtaining the correct trade license.
“The bloggers and influencers will receive full support as our preferred customer in obtaining all the mandatory UAE National Media Council approvals to set up their entity,” Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of Ajman Media City Free Zone, said.
But the best news is aspiring influencers won’t need to visit the free zone office in person, in order to set up the trade license. Most free zones in the UAE require potential company owners and individuals seeking trade licenses to visit a physical office
“With this first of its kind service in the region, we are able to offer huge flexibility, cost savings and speedy services to the global entrepreneurs,” HE Mahmood Al Hashmi, C.E.O. of Ajman Media City Free Zone, said.
The cost of the Ajman Media City Free Zone Social Media Influencer license package has yet to be announced, but it provides a convenient option for aspiring influencers and creators who may not have the time to apply for a company license in person.
The National Media Council’s Media Licensing Department states a Dh15,000 cost for obtaining a license for “Websites and social accounts specialized for online advertising Electronic”.
Any social influencer or digital creator who is earning an income from their social media channels is required to be licensed within the UAE. This includes income from sponsored posts, brand deals and paid product reviews/shoutouts.
