Another quick method to add new people to Google +

Ok I know the web is filled with posts like this, but my method is quicker than many of them. You don't have to wait for an invitation. Most methods goes like this, - Tell your friend to add you into his circle, wiat for the invitation mail from google+. Well my friend has done that and waited for a long time but nothing happened. So here is how I joined google+.

1. Create a google account. If you already have a gmail account, that will do.
2. Create your google profile (not google+). To do this, while you are logged into gmail/other google sites, look at the top right corner, you can see either your name or your email address. Click on that. This will bring up a drop down menu. Click on View Profile/Create Profile. Follow the instructions and create your profile. Set your visibility as public (searchable)
3. Find a friend who already has a google+ account
4. Ask him to add you into his circle. this is simple and I am not going to give an explanation. Then tell him to create post and share it with you. Also make sure his visibility is public so that he appears in search results. he can turn this off later
5. When he does this, wait for 1-5 hours. (usually 1 is enough). You should ask your friend and find out what his profile image is, this will make the next step easier.
6. Goto your google profile. At the top you can see a search box where you can serach for people. Search and find your friend who shared the post. Knowing his profile image can help you out.
7. Goto friends profile and goto 'Posts' section.
8. You will be able to see the post he shared with you earlier. Look at the begining of the post, and you will be able to see a link titled 'Limited'.
9. Click on the link 'Limited'. This will show the list of people with whom the post is shared. Find you avatar in this list and click it.
10. Now you will be taken to a google+ join page. Enter your basic information and click join.
11. Hurrey!!! you are in google +
