Roberto Blake

Roberto Blake is an American content creator, author and coach who teaches YouTube strategy, personal branding and creator monetization. According to his own press kit, he was born on June 21, 1984, in Brooklyn, New York, and lives in the Atlanta, Georgia area; his story page says he moved to Atlanta in 2017. The same page says he studied graphic design and advertising at a community college from 2002 without finishing the degree, and worked in retail, as a freelance graphic designer, as a web designer at an IT company and as a marketing manager at a creative agency before turning to content creation.

He runs Create Awesome Media, which his website describes as a media company and branding agency and which is listed as the publisher of his book, and founded Awesome Creator Academy in 2017. His press kit also lists Creator Economy Insider, Create Awesome Things and 1000 Creators Fund among his brands.

His main channel is the YouTube channel Roberto Blake (@RobertoBlake), which showed 643K subscribers and about 1.4K videos when read on September 14, 2026. His press kit says the channel started in 2009 and has published consistently since summer 2013. He also hosts the Create Something Awesome podcast and publishes on Instagram, X, Facebook and LinkedIn.

What he sells, according to the Awesome Creator Academy pages read on September 14, 2026: a membership hosted on Kajabi, co-taught with branding strategist Andy Rivera, at $59 per month or $499 per year for the Pro Group, which includes two weekly group coaching calls, a library the site describes as 100 hours of training, and the academy's courses, templates and swipe files; and an Academy VIP tier at $999 per year that adds a quarterly 30-minute 1:1 session with him. Separately, he sells 1:1 coaching with prices published on the site, from $249 per week for weekly 30-minute sessions to $8,999 for a 12-session package; payment is taken first and a scheduling link is sent by email. He also offers a free course, Creator Foundations, and is the author of Create Something Awesome: How Creators are Profiting from Their Passion in the Creator Economy (Create Awesome Media LLC, 2022). He works as a paid keynote speaker; no speaking fee is published.

His website states that he has earned over $2M in revenue as a full-time creator. A case study on the blog of Kajabi, the platform that hosts his academy, attributes to him more than half a million dollars made on Kajabi through coaching and digital downloads. Both figures come from him or from a vendor he uses, and no independent source confirms them. His press kit says he has been featured by Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, Entrepreneur and Business Insider; Mentor Explorer has not reviewed those articles individually.
