Content Marketing CRM Tools can be expensive so below are some fantastic free or low-cost online options to help you to generate brilliant content marketing:

 

635 Brainwriting

635 Brainwriting is based on a traditional method of brainstorming. It essentially gives each person in a team an opportunity to contribute ideas but without being dominated by other members of the group.
Each person has a certain amount of time to come up with an idea before the platform is passed to the next person. This goes back around the circle until several ideas are generated within a short space of time.

Trello

Trello Tool | Blog | Taksu

Trello is a collaboration tool that organizes your projects into boards. In one glance, Trello tells you what’s being worked on, who’s working on what, and where something is in a process.

It’s a bit like an electronic whiteboard, filled with lists of sticky notes, with each note as a task for you and your team. The difference being that each of those sticky notes has photos, attachments from other data sources like BitBucket or Salesforce, documents, and a place to comment and collaborate with your teammates. It gives you the ability to access all this information on the go and is also a great place for colleagues to contribute content and structure and organise so that you can manage the process.
