Updated: How to send out Google Plus invites when invitations are turned off

Update: To protect your email address from spammers, we’ve created a form for you to request invites.

If you didn’t get your hands on Google + yet, don’t worry we got you covered! Don’t head to eBay and give your money away to scalpers. We would like to thank Droid Life for showing us the “trick” on how to invite people to the new Google service, since the invite feature was turned off last night due to server issues.

Are you ready? Let’s go:

• Login to your Google + account and click on the Circle button
• Create a new Circle

• Start adding people (they must have a Gmail account) by using the the “Add a new person” button

• When you are done adding your friends, go back to your “Stream“
• Type whatever you want and add the circle you created (Invitations)

• When you are done adding the new circle, make sure that the “Also email “x” people not yet using Google+” is checked

• Click “Share” and whoever you picked in your circle will receive an email/invite

• Once you open the email, click on the “learn about Google+ red button.” You will be directed to the G+ page and then click “Join”

• Et voilà!

We hope this helped some of you out there who have been longing to join Google+! Let us know if it worked for you!
