Ever heard of SalesForce.com? In the last few years, it emerged as the industry-leading CRM application for businesses of almost all sizes. It’s cloud-based, and comes with virtually every lead management feature your business could ever need.

But for the smallest of businesses, SalesForce.com is kind of… clunky. It can seem overwhelming at times, and many users may feel like it does too much. Here are four lightweight SalesForce.com alternatives for the very small business:

1. Highrise

Ever used Basecamp? It’s become 37 Signals’s flagship application in recent years, and it’s almost ubiquitous among tech-savvy businesses using project management tools. Highrise is the simple CRM system that works as a fantastic complement to Basecamp.

While seamless integration with other 37 Signals apps is one of its biggest selling points, Highrise is an all-around great CRM system that integrates with lots of popular third-party apps. The only weak point for many would-be users is its Google Apps integration, which is spotty and doesn’t allow for contact syncs.

2. Capsule

A powerful and inexpensive solution – it’s only half the price of Highrise for a single user – Capsule does integrate completely with Google Apps. With a very intuitive interface that puts the spotlight on your day-to-day tasks, Capsule was built for smaller shops that need little more than the basics.

Integrate Capsule with your email client, and automatically import emails, create new contacts, and assign new tasks without ever signing into the app directly.

3. Tactile CRM

It may not offer as many integrations as Highrise or Capsule, but Tactile CRM still gives you a lot of features for a price even a one-person operation can afford.

At $9/month for unlimited users, it’s as close to free as you can get for a serious CRM system. In fact, anyone with fewer than 250 contacts actually can use Tactile CRM for free. The only catch is that those users won’t get to use any integrations.

Designers and creatives who use Campaign Monitor might want to give Tactile CRM a shot. Word on the street is that it integrates nicely with that popular email marketing platform.

4. Solve 360

You can’t say the makers of Solve 360 don’t tell it like it is. The app’s tagline is “Modern Cloud Based CRM That Doesn’t Suck.” Pretty specific, don’t you think?

Made for somewhat larger (but still small) businesses with somewhat larger (but still small) budgets, Solve 360 can’t beat Capsule and Tactile on price. Where it might beat them, however, is on its ability to associate contacts with particular projects.

That’s not to say it’s a project management-CRM all-in-one, but Solve 360 does go the extra mile to help disparate parts of organizations stay organized. Whether you go for that functionality will depend on the size of your operation and your CRM needs.

1. Make it Visible

I have seen many Blogs that don’t have a RSS button or widget in there blog and the owner says that he s not able to Increase RSS Subscribers. If you are one of those who don’t have a RSS Button in there Blog, then its time to add one. Without any visibility, no Readers can subscribe even if you have a quality content in your Blog.

2. Write Quality Content

The Most important thing that every blog should have is Quality Content. If your Blog has got some quality content, then it will not be difficult for you to gain Subscribers. Readers love the Quality Content and will Automatically Subscribe. This is one of the best ways to gain hige RSS Subscribers.

3. Placement Matters

Right Placement of the Subscribe Button or Widget also boost up the Subscriber List. Most of the Blog owners place RSS Button in the Footer, only few Readers scrolls and moves to footer. So if its not visible to most of the Readers, then how can you think of building a huge List. Try to place it on the Header above the Fold. It will be clearly visible and they may Subscribe to your Blog.

4. Build Traffic

If your Blog is getting very less traffic, then you cant increase your RSS Subscribers. First try to gain huge Traffic to your Blog, then further think of gaining RSS Subscribers.

5. Make it Easy

Most of the Internet Users are lazy and if you are adding too many steps for Subscribing like Inserting Captcha etc, they will not be going to Subscribe. So make the Subscribing process as easy as you can, so that you can gain good number of RSS Subscribers.

6. Offer Free Stuffs

Who Doesn’t Like Free Stuff. Offering Free Stuff like Themes etc for Subscribing to RSS is good way to gain huge Number of Subscribers. Just add a Special Widget or note on this at the Sidebar. The Disadvantage of this step is that in order to get Free Stuffs, the Readers may Subscribe with there inactive email address, so there is no use of gaining the Subscribers with inactive email addresses.

You have to understand what kinds of terms people use as search terms when they are looking for something using a search engine. Using those search terms or keywords in tour text contents will make sure that they find your website faster. However, there is a growing controversy about how many keywords should be considered as too many keywords. You must never put keywords in the text contents meaninglessly. SEO experts suggest that you must use no more than 1% keyword in any text content.

Use social media

The social media websites have become the hanging place for almost every internet user. Social media sites like Facebook or Twitter has become a great place for promoting yourself. One very important thing to remember is that you have to use your links in those sites very strategically. People never like to be told what they must do. Rather, they like to believe that they have the choice of everything. Provide your website links in the social sites with different interesting posts to make people click them.

Keep updating

1. Poor Quality Content

If you are not writing quality content, then don’t expect traffic to your Blog. This could be one of the reason that nobody visits your Blog. Writing Quality Content is the key to bring tons of traffic to your Blog. Writing 100’s of poor quality articles will not improve your Ranking, rather only 20 or 30 Quality articles can easily improve your Ranking and Visits. If you are writing quality content, then you will also see increase in Subscribers.

2. High Loading Time

Most of the Blogs suffer from High Loading Time. Visitors don’t like to visit the blogs that takes huge time to Load. I personally visit don’t visit such websites. There could be many reasons behind this High Loading Time, mostly by displaying too many ads and by installing many plugins. You can buy a CDN for your Blog or if you are on WordPress Platform, you can install some usefull Caching plugins like W3Total Cache, Smush.it etc.

3. Poor Theme

If your Blog has a poor theme, then its better to get a new theme so that you many not suffer from Traffic Loss. As a Blog Owner, you should select the theme that is attractive, so that you can keep your Readers stay for long in your Blog. Also try to view your Website from different browsers and if you find some Display problem or any error from any Browser, then you should change your Blog theme as this could be the reason that your blog is suffering from traffic loss.

4. Displaying Too Many Ads

Are you one of those who are displaying too many Ads in your Blog. Do you really think that displaying too many ads will increase your revenue. It may increase or not, but it will surely bring your blog to downside and you will soon start experiencing no visits on your Blog. Too many Ads irritates the visitor and he just switch on to some other Blog. So only display few ads in your Blog.

5. Not Responding

Most of the Blog Owners didn’t respond to there Readers. I have seen many blogs where readers leaves the comment asking a question but the Blog Owners keeps on Approving the Comments and didn’t respond or answer there queries. Readers visits your Blog just to gain knowledge and learn, but if they didn’t answer any of there queries, they don’t wish to visit it again.

If you are a brand or a small business the best way to build a brand in Facebook is by creating your own page. You should spend some time creating an attractive Facebook page because new visitors will judge you based on that. Consider hiring a design company because a well designed Facebook page can benefit you tremendously. Creating a Facebook page is only the first step, the hard part is getting people to like your page. Your Facebook updates will appear in other people profiles only if they liked your page, so increasing likes is very important to spread your message. This is where tracking become important. The insights link available in your Facebook page gives you lot of information which you can use in your Facebook marketing campaign. You can see the number of likes, whether the likes were paid or organic, Number of unique visitors and the top referrers to you page and much more data. You can see which of your posts are getting the most reactions so you can fine tune your Facebook updates.

Tracking Brand Mentions in Facebook Marketing

Another important thing to track is mentions of your brand in Facebook. There is no way to do this via Facebook because a search for your brand name will only get you results of Facebook pages and profiles that has mentioned the brand. Some status updates will be shown, but those are only from your friends. If someone who isn’t a Facebook friend of yours mentioned your brand you won’t find it by doing a Facebook search. Anyway it’s a tedious and a repetitive task to do this everyday. Instead you can use a service like HootSuite social media dashboard. You setup a search and quickly and easily see when someone mentions your brand on Twitter. You can take this opportunity to connect with them and enhance the relationship with that customer.

Importance of Consistent Posting in Facebook Marketing

The objective of your Facebook campaign is to increase your brand presence. To become a well known brand you should consistently appear on your followers timeline. Scheduling your posts in a timely manner is the best way to do that. Remember consistency isn’t spamming. Try to limit yourself to around one or two posts a day. But make sure to send it out in the optimal time. Make sure the update are relevant. If it’s a current hot topic you can give a fresh look to it by creating an info-graphic. You can use a web application like Creately diagramming tool to do this easily. Funny quotes, beautiful pictures etc tend to engage users more, but don’t overdo it because then your marketing message will be lost.

Mentioned above are few reasons why you should track your Facebook marketing campaigns and how to build your brand by sticking to a consistent update schedule. If you are not tracking, today is a good day to start tracking and tweaking your Facebook campaigns.
