A complete paid acquisition and conversion system designed to scale Awesome Creator Academy to 50% of your total revenue in 2026.
A quick walkthrough of everything we built for you.
Your Academy sits at roughly 35% of total revenue. To hit your 2026 target of 50% (and 3-4x the absolute number), organic alone will not get you there. Paid traffic is the lever that scales independent of your personal time investment.
You already have Facebook Pixel (332805263810974) and Google Ads conversion tracking (AW-1029136652) installed on awesomecreatoracademy.com. Your organic engine gives you a content library most advertisers would pay millions to build. The play is turning that library into a paid acquisition machine.
Three-tier structure designed for a creator education business with an existing audience and a free-to-paid funnel.
Objective: Drive new creator audiences into the Creator Foundations free course. Every paid enrollment becomes a retargetable lead in your ConvertKit list and Facebook Pixel audience.

Creative Angles by Tier:
| Tier | Daily | Monthly | Target CPA | Expected Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cold (Free Course) | $75-200 | $2,250-6,000 | $3-8 | 375-750 enrollments |
| Warm (Academy) | $30-50 | $900-1,500 | $50-150 | 10-30 paid members |
| Ascension (Tier Up) | $15-25 | $450-750 | $20-50 | 15-37 upgrades |
| Total | $120-275 | $3,600-8,250 | -- | -- |
Conservative: 10 new enrollments/month at $299 avg = $2,990/month ($35,880/yr) on $900/month spend. 3.3x ROAS on first-year value alone.
Aggressive: 30 enrollments/month at $399 avg (Basic + Pro mix) = $11,970/month ($143,640/yr) on $1,500/month spend. 8x ROAS.
Ascension bonus: Upgrading 15 members from Basic to Pro each month adds $3,000/month in incremental revenue on $450/month spend. 6.7x ROAS.
This does not include the compounding effect: every new member is a potential upsell target next quarter.
Four scripts targeting different funnel stages with different psychological angles. Ready to record or adapt as text overlays for content repurpose clips.
I have coached over 600 creators one on one. Some of them had zero subscribers when we started. Some had 100,000 or more. The ones who succeed all figure out the same math.
You do not need a million subscribers to make six figures. You need 1,000 real fans who spend $100 a year with you. That is a $100,000 business.
The problem is most creators never learn how to build that. They chase views and hope the algorithm saves them. It will not.
I built a free course called Creator Foundations. It covers exactly how to go from posting content to building a business around that content. The niche selection, the monetization timing, the audience-to-revenue bridge.
Over 3,000 creators have gone through my programs. My Trustpilot sits at 4.9 out of 5 with 136 reviews. I am not guessing at this. I have done it for over a decade.
The free course is below. No credit card, no catch. Start building the business behind your content.
Quick update for anyone who has been thinking about joining the Awesome Creator Academy Pro Group.
We cap the Pro Group at 150 members. Right now, 105 of those seats are taken. That is 45 spots left before we close enrollment until a seat opens up.
The Pro Group gets you two live office hours sessions every week with me and Andy Rivera. You can bring your channel, your monetization questions, your brand deal negotiations. We work through it live. Plus you get every course, every download, every swipe file in the Academy library.
This is the room where creators go from grinding alone to having a team in their corner every single week.
I am not reopening extra seats. When it fills, it fills. If you have been on the fence, now is the time.
Link is below to lock in your spot.
When creators come to me, they usually say the same thing: "I am making content but I am not making money."
That was exactly where [Student Name] was eight months ago. Posting consistently, getting some views, but the revenue was not there. No brand deals, no products, no clear path to replacing their income.
We sat down in a coaching session and rebuilt their strategy from the ground up. We identified their actual monetizable audience. We restructured their content to attract buyers, not just viewers. We built their first digital product and mapped out a launch plan.
Eight months later, they crossed $8,000 a month. Not from ad revenue. From products and coaching built on top of their content.
That is what the Awesome Creator Academy does. We do not teach you to chase subscribers. We teach you to build a business.
Over 600 creators have gone through our coaching. 136 five-star reviews on Trustpilot. The results speak for themselves.
If you want to see how this would work for your specific situation, start with our free Creator Foundations course. Link below.
Note: Swap in real student names and numbers when recording. The more specific the transformation (subscriber count, revenue milestone, timeline), the stronger the ad performs.
You have access to every course in the Academy. That is great. But let me be honest with you about what the Pro Group members are getting that you are not seeing.
Twice every week, Pro Group members jump on live calls with me and Andy. They bring their real problems. Their actual channel analytics. Their brand deal offers. Their product launch plans. And we solve them together, in real time.
Last week, we helped a member renegotiate a brand deal from $2,000 to $5,500. The week before, we mapped out a launch strategy for a member's first digital product that brought in $12,000 in the first 10 days.
That is what happens when you have a room full of serious creators and two coaches who have done this for a combined 15+ years.
You already invested in yourself with the Academy. The Pro Group is where that investment starts compounding.
45 seats left. Link below.
You have a free course (Creator Foundations) that captures leads. You have a paid Academy with four pricing tiers. The gap: there is no structured conversion mechanism between those two endpoints.
Right now, the path probably looks like this: someone enrolls in the free course, consumes some content, maybe sees a CTA to join the Academy, maybe does not. If they do not convert within the first few days, they fall into your general email list and may or may not hear from you again with a targeted pitch. That is leaving money on the ground.
When a Creator Foundations enrollee completes the free course (or reaches the final module), Kajabi triggers an automation that does two things:
If Kajabi cannot trigger on course completion, use a time-based proxy: 7 days after enrollment, assume partial completion and trigger the sequence. Better to catch someone mid-course than never.
A dedicated Kajabi page (not your main Academy sales page) designed specifically for free course graduates. One job: convert free users to paid.
"You have the foundations. Here is what the creators who are actually making money do next."
Acknowledges what they just completed (validates their effort) and opens the loop for what is missing.
"Creator Foundations taught you how to start. But starting is not the hard part. The hard part is building a sustainable income from your content. That requires strategy, feedback, and a room full of people who are doing it alongside you."
Frame the Academy as the answer to the gap they are now aware of. They finished the free course. They know enough to realize how much they do not know.
Pull 3-5 specific testimonials from Trustpilot. Use the most recent and most specific about results:
The core conversion asset. A 5-8 minute video from Roberto, speaking directly to someone who just finished Creator Foundations.
Minute 0-1: "Congrats on finishing Creator Foundations. Seriously. Most people never finish a free course. The fact that you did tells me you are serious about this." Validate. Build rapport.
Minute 1-3: "Here is what I have seen after coaching 600+ creators. The ones who try to figure it out alone take 2-3 years to hit their first $1,000 month. The ones who get coaching and community support cut that timeline in half or better. It is not about talent. It is about having someone in your corner who has already solved the problem you are stuck on." Agitate the DIY path. Present the alternative.
Minute 3-5: "The Awesome Creator Academy is the room where that happens. Twice a week, live coaching calls. Every course and resource I have built over 10 years. And a community of creators who are all building together." Walk through the Pro Group specifically. Show what a typical office hours session looks like. Name specific things that get solved: brand deal pricing, content strategy, product launches, channel audits.
Minute 5-7: "The Pro Group is capped at 150 members. We are at 105 right now. I keep it small because I want to actually know everyone in the room. When it fills, it fills. I am not adding extra seats." Real scarcity. Let it land.
Minute 7-8: "If you are serious about turning your content into a career, this is the fastest path I know. I have been doing this for over a decade. $2 million in creator revenue. 600,000 subscribers. And I still show up twice a week to coach because I genuinely believe this is how the creator economy gets better. One creator at a time." Close with CTA.

"Is this different from the free course?"
Yes. The free course teaches foundations. The Academy gives you coaching, community, live feedback, and advanced strategies.
"Can I try it before committing?"
You already did. The free course was your trial. If you got value from that, the Academy is the full experience.
"What if I am just starting out?"
The Pro Group is designed for creators at every stage. Office hours cover everything from launching your first video to negotiating five-figure brand deals.
"How much time does it take?"
Two office hours sessions per week (optional but recommended). Everything else is on your schedule.

You just finished Creator Foundations. That puts you ahead of 90% of creators who never invest time in learning the business side.
But I want to share something I have learned from coaching 600+ creators over the last decade.
The difference between creators who make content and creators who make money is not talent. It is not even audience size. It is whether they understand the math.
Here is the math: You need 1,000 people who will spend $100 a year with you. That is a $100,000 business. You do not need a million subscribers. You need 1,000 real fans and a product or service worth $100.
Creator Foundations showed you how to build an audience. The Awesome Creator Academy shows you how to build the business on top of that audience. The courses, the live coaching, the community of creators who are all working toward the same thing.
If you are serious about turning your content into income, this is the room where that happens.

Quick peek behind the curtain.
Every week, the Pro Group hops on two live coaching calls with me and Andy Rivera. Members bring their real questions and we work through them together.
Here is what came up last week:
This is not theoretical. This is what happens when you have a room of serious creators and coaches who have been doing this for a combined 15+ years.
If this is the kind of support you want, the Pro Group still has seats open: [LINK]
I am going to be direct with you.
Every creator I have worked with who tried to figure out monetization on their own took 2-3 years to hit consistent income. Some took longer. A few never got there.
The ones who got coaching and joined a community of other serious creators cut that timeline to 6-12 months on average.
That is not me selling you something. That is what I have observed across 600+ coaching clients and 3,000+ Academy members over the last decade.
The difference is not intelligence or work ethic. It is feedback loops. When you are alone, you make a mistake and you do not know it for months. When you have a coach reviewing your work and a community spotting your blind spots, you catch it in days.
The Academy exists because I genuinely believe creators should not have to figure this out the hard way. I already did that. It took me years. I built this so you do not have to repeat my mistakes.
If you are ready: [LINK]
If not, no pressure. I will keep sending you useful stuff either way.
I do not usually send emails about reviews. But I think this matters.
The Awesome Creator Academy has 136 reviews on Trustpilot. Our rating is 4.9 out of 5. Not a single review below 4 stars.
Here is what real members said:
"Practical and focused guidance on monetization strategy with clear direction and several strategies." - Marvin, March 2026
"Roberto really cares about his clients and wants to see them succeed." - Austin Jacob, February 2026
"Far more value than expected. Strategic guidance and a roadmap for exponential growth." - Melanie, November 2025
"AMAZING experience. Personalized advice for my specific problems." - Kedeisha Bryan, November 2025
I share these because I know investing in coaching feels like a risk. You are wondering if it is worth it. The people who already made that decision are telling you it is.
136 of them, to be exact.

This is the last email I will send you about the Academy for a while.
The Pro Group is capped at 150 members. 105 seats are filled. Once we hit 150, enrollment closes until a seat opens up. I do not add extra capacity. I do not run "limited time" promotions that are not actually limited. When the seats are gone, they are gone.
Here is what you get with the Pro Group at $499 for the full year:
That works out to roughly $4.15 per week for live coaching access.
If you are serious about building a creator business, this is the most cost-effective way to get ongoing coaching from someone who has done it for a decade and earned over $2M doing it.

After today, I am moving you to our regular newsletter. You will still get great content from me. But this specific invitation will not come around again until a Pro seat opens up.
Your call.
Triggers 30 days after a Basic member enrolls. By this point, they have consumed courses and experienced the Academy. Now show them what they are missing.
You have been in the Academy for about a month now. If you are like most Basic members, you have probably gone through at least 2-3 courses and started applying what you learned.
Here is what I want you to know: the courses are great. I am proud of them. But they are not the most valuable part of the Academy.
The most valuable part is the Pro Group office hours.
Twice a week, Pro Group members get on live calls with me and Andy. They bring their actual problems. Not hypothetical questions from a course, but real situations happening in their business that week.
"My brand deal negotiation is at $3,000 but I think I can get $6,000. How do I counter?"
"My last three videos tanked. What is going wrong?"
"I want to launch a course but I do not know how to price it."
We solve these in real time. And every member in the room learns from every other member's questions.
The courses teach you the frameworks. The office hours show you how to apply them to YOUR specific situation.
The Pro Group is $499/year. You already paid $299 for Basic. The difference is $200 for a year of live coaching access. That is less than the cost of a single hour with most business coaches.

Quick update from inside the Pro Group this month:
These are all people who were in the same position you are in right now. They had the courses. They understood the theory. What changed was having a room full of serious creators and live coaching to hold them accountable and course-correct in real time.
The upgrade is $200 more than what you already paid: [UPGRADE LINK]
Sending this because the numbers changed.
When you enrolled in Basic, the Pro Group had 45 open seats. As of today, we are at [CURRENT NUMBER].
I am not going to create fake urgency. The seats fill at whatever pace they fill. But I wanted to give you the update since I know some Basic members are waiting to see if they want to upgrade.
Here is what I would tell you if we were on a call together: if you are getting value from the courses, you will get 10x the value from the live coaching. The courses give you the playbook. The office hours give you a coach who knows your specific situation and can give you feedback on your actual content, your actual brand deals, your actual numbers.
$200 difference. 104 office hours sessions per year. That is less than $2 per coaching session.
If you want in: [UPGRADE LINK]
If you want to stay on Basic, that is completely fine. You still have access to everything in the course library and I will keep making it better.
Triggers 60 days after Pro enrollment. These members are engaged. They show up to office hours. Now offer them the personal touch.
You have been in the Pro Group for two months. If you have been showing up to office hours, you have probably noticed something: we cover a LOT of ground in those sessions, but the time is shared.
With 100+ members asking questions, we might spend 5-10 minutes on your specific situation per call. That is valuable. But there are things that need more depth.
Things like: mapping out your entire revenue strategy for the next 12 months. Auditing your content system end to end. Planning a product launch with detailed timelines and pricing analysis. Reviewing a brand deal contract line by line.
Those conversations need 30 minutes of focused, one-on-one attention. Just you and me, working through your specific business.
That is what VIP gives you. Everything in Pro Group, plus a 30-minute 1:1 session with me every quarter. Four times a year, we go deep on whatever matters most to your business at that moment.
The upgrade from Pro to VIP is $500/year. That is four private strategy sessions for $125 each. Most business coaches charge $500-1,000 per hour for this level of access.
If you want it: [UPGRADE LINK]
I just wrapped the last round of VIP 1:1 sessions for the quarter. Here is a snapshot of what we worked on (details anonymized):
Each of those sessions was 30 minutes. That is the power of focused, one-on-one time with someone who has already navigated these exact challenges.
If you want this level of strategic depth applied to YOUR business, the VIP upgrade is here: [UPGRADE LINK]
Spots are open. No cap on VIP, but I only do these quarterly, so the sooner you join, the sooner you get your first session on the calendar.
Everything on this page is built for you and ready to implement. We would love to walk you through the details.
