After all the hype about Google wave and many people being disappointed with its usability and lack of invites. The question remains, how is it as a marketing tool? Here are some simple steps to begin marketing on Google Wave.
The Basics
When you have some content to market, make a wave. Add pics, apps, maps and whatever else to make it as attractive as possible. Then add all your relevant contacts to the wave. So they can read and comment on it. If needed ask them to spread it to their contacts.
See that you don’t send out too much irrelevant content cause there is always a spam button .
Make the wave Public
The wave is visible to your contacts once you have added them. Add “easypublic@appspot.com” to your contacts. When you add this app to any wave it will make the wave available in the Public area, open to all.
Tagging
Now how will the public come across your wave? Tag the wave with all relevant keywords.
Do you have any other ways to promote content on G wave? Put them down in the comments!

I still have to check how exactly wave is working. This may be nice tool for promotion.
I think Google Wave is missing something which is more important to collaborate..
I always wonder how can i use wave, and now, i get one idea for it. Thanks for sharing.
Never tried Google wave seriously till date.
The method you explained looks useful.
Ati-uttam. In my limited knowledge and usage of Wave, this seems to be a new addition. And quite a helpful one. I have only used Wave for tweeting and for a group chat session. Should try this one soon.
Cheers,

Google wave always rocking to use.
I got google wave 1 month back but i am not aware of these features in wave.
thanks for such a Nice tip…
Never tried Google wave seriously. Thanks, for sharing the post.
I don’t think we can use google wave for marketing at this point of time as their are very few users of Google Wave. And i dn’t think google is impressing people its a flop show by google
Google Wave is not having a sufficient active users online only because it is still not open to everyone and spreads with invitation only!!
I second your opinion Arijit. Though once Wave is out of beta I’m sure many users might switch to wave completely.
haven’t really started to use wave actively yet, looking foreword to spend more time on google wave now,
Priyanka that’s a nice post. If possible, do write a Basics type of tutorial on Google Wave because I believe that many users still don’t know how to use Google Wave.
Good idea! Will see what I can dig up for that
That’s great. If you would like you can post the same on My Blog as a guest author..
Nice post Priyanka keep it up
I don’t think in the “Preview” mode Google has ‘officially’ enabled the functionality to make a wave ‘read-only’. So, anyone who can see your wave, can make himself as a participant and then edit it. Competitors might want to spoil your wave once you have got enough participants/followers on it
I dont know why…
I not interested in google wave …
I gotta check this one, even when I not interested in google wave thanks for sharing
