The 9th is always an exciting day for 9 Clouds, and today is a perfect example.
Five years ago on 9/9/09 we held the public launch party for 9 Clouds. Three years later we launched our personal consulting site, 9 Clouds Academy.
Today, we are excited to announce the launch of My 9 Clouds, a free library of digital marketing resources for marketers and business owners.

Why My 9 Clouds?
Digital media is the best way for businesses anywhere to connect with customers everywhere. This gets us excited.
As proud South Dakotans, we see digital media as the greatest hope for revitalizing our communities and growing our businesses. If you can live and work from anywhere, more people can choose to stay and start their businesses here in South Dakota (or wherever they might be).
Unfortunately, the people who can benefit most from digital media are often those who don’t know how to use it. That’s why we created My 9 Clouds.
For six years we have been creating resources on how to use digital media. We have charged as much as $1,600 for access to these resources as large companies and universities wanted to train their employees and students on how to succeed online.
We could have kept charging for this content, but we had one major realization: the people who need My 9 Clouds most are the ones who are not able to pay for it.
That’s why we updated and organized our content and are proud to release it all for free.
What’s Included?
My 9 Clouds provides every piece of content we have ever created, free for you.
This includes:
- 10 digital marketing courses
- 15+ free ebooks
- Access to over 20 hours of consulting webinars
- Perks and discounts on essential tools
- A free copy of our own book, “Navigating Social Media: A Field Guide” (while supplies last)
Our most popular content includes:
The best place to start if you are new to digital media is:
- Essential Step-by-Step Guide to Internet Marketing
- Search Engine Marketing and Social Media Marketing Course

Why Free?
You may be asking: why we would give all of this away for free?
There are two reasons.
First, we want every business to have an equal opportunity to claim their digital corner of the universe.
We live in a moment where anyone who is knowledgeable, passionate and able to create remarkable things can share their big idea online and find customers. We call this digital homesteading. We want to help others get started and make the internet a more dynamic, diverse and exciting place to be.
Second, My 9 Clouds is strategic.
We know that when you teach a man to fish, they will sometimes come back and hire you to do the fishing. We offer personal support through 9 Clouds Academy and measurable, goal-based digital marketing campaigns for businesses through 9 Clouds. Some of the My 9 Clouds members will learn the value of digital media and hire us, so giving it away is a great way for us to generate potential leads for our business, just as My 9 Clouds will do for your business.
