HOW-TO Google+ invite backdoor

**Jerry Hildenbrand** · 06-30-2011, 01:51 AM

In the spirit of free information sharing, here's how to use the Google+ backdoor to invite people now that invites are gone for a while.

The person you're inviting must have a Google profile set up. You'll know if they do when you go to add them to a circle.

create a new circle. name it anything, but remember which one it is.
add the person you want to invite to THAT CIRCLE. If it tells you they need a name when you try to add them, they have no Google profile and it's not going to work.
Only add one person to this circle.

Compose a new update message. Remove any circle tags, and add the circle you created for that friend. You'll get notified that you'll be sharing via email. Cool. Do it.

That person will get an email, with a red button they can click to learn more. Clicking that button will get them to the account set up page, as long as they are logged in to Google. After they have signed in to Gooogle+, delete that circle you created. you can then add your friend to any circle you like.

this doesn't seem to work everytime. My success rate is probably 75 ish %.

Add your friends, point them here, have them pass the favor along.

Tried it but they aren't letting anyone do it anymore. Damn shame

**iamtyy** · 06-30-2011, 04:27 AM

Tried this several times over, with no luck. They must've closed it up?

**Johnly** · 06-30-2011, 05:04 AM

F*** a couple days and it will be there...beta! And one hot az beta at that........

Someone was just able to get in by logging in to the mobile app after receiving an invite... Still can't replicate it though.

When I had my friend apply this method, I did not even receive the email.

Jerry I was able to get 10 people in by typing something, hitting share, and entering their email in.
I didn't choose a circle.
I am tapped out right now but when I get more I will invite more.

The way I did it was to tag my google contacts in a picture. It sends them an email to join and accept.

Hey! Could someone send me an invitation please at dbATfindmyhomeDOTat or tag me in a picture please?

THANKS in advance!

**lornaevo** · 06-30-2011, 11:14 AM

This no longer works.

**Yourdogsdead** · 06-30-2011, 11:16 AM

Yeah, it doesn't seem to work anymore. Friend tried to sign up with the link I sent him.

**tony bag o donuts** · 06-30-2011, 11:21 AM

have them try later on.
It seems that if it is sent twice to the person the second time is the charm...but I think it's hit or miss.

**Saepak** · 06-30-2011, 01:20 PM

well if someone would want to try with me that would be cool. email is thanks.
