How to invite other people/friends on Google+ (Google Plus)

So you got the much awaited invitation of Google+ (If not, click here) and you really enjoy exploring it. While you are enjoying it, your Facebook friends are up your “some part of body” :) to get the invite from you and you virtually have no clues how to do that. Here is what I suggest. Get all the E-Mail address (you want to invite on Google+) in your Gmail contacts. You can do the same with Facebook as well. Get all your Facebook contacts in CSV format. No clues what I am saying? Take a look here: Download contacts from Facebook.

Now when you have all the E-Mails in your Gmail contacts list you are ready to take off.

  • Login in to Google plus.
  • Go to circles
  • Click on Find and Invite
  • Click on More Actions drop down and choose Select All
  • Now when all are selected, drag and drop them into new circle

Now when all your contacts are in a circle (you might want to name this circle say My Group) you are ready to please you friends with the Google invite. All you have to do now is:

  • Go on your home page in Google+
  • In the stream box, which is written as Share what’s new (Similar to Facebook status), set your status
  • When you write something in there it gives an option of sharing it with the circles you have (in our case My Group)
  • It also says that EMail people not using Google+, tick yes there
  • Now when you click share, the people who are not on Google+ will be notified about it by E-Mail and from that email they can join Google+

I hope it helped you. As always, questions, suggestions and a word of thanks is welcomed.
