Are Likes Always Good?

If you are an entrepreneur or a marketing manager then it is very important for you to identify the true ROI of social media advertisement expenditure. You need to understand that yes, it is important to get more LIKES and VIEWS but organic and not fake. Try to experiment with your marketing strategy to increase the engagement, for example, as the survey shows that people interact more if you ask a question or conduct a contest, so make your post asking some questions or conduct some contest. So be wise and enjoy the fruit of smart digital marketing.

What is Inbound marketing?

Inbound marketing is all about sharing content with the world. For successful inbound marketing, content sharing is the key. One must share the content they think their customer needs, it can be any thing from introduction to complete training manual for the best usage of the product. To ensure that the customers are reading your content you have to be systematic in publishing your content. For example, you want to publish all questions & answers content on every Wednesday and tips to use the product on every Friday. By this the customers will understand the schedule and read the content of their interest, just like as we watch our favorite TV show without missing.

Instruction to fill US Visa -INDIA

Resources for filling DS-160, paying SEVIS Fee, paying DS-160 fee and Visa interview question (India only)

Information to fill – DS-160 -
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2AI_Q6bf5gXZ3o0NEtSczgxbTg/edit?usp=sharing

... US Visa interview questions for F1 visa only
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2AI_Q6bf5gXZ3hpTnZCNnVZVUk/edit?usp=sharing

Complete process of filling DS-160 to visa interview
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2AI_Q6bf5gXRlpBQkE3ZDN3Vnc/edit?usp=sharing

Please note that while paying DS-160 fees online through net-banking you will asked to write the type of account of the beneficiary, in which you can write Domestic and current account, as this worked out for me
 
1)A U.S. visa in his/her passport gives a foreign citizen permission to apply to enter the U.S. A visa by itself doesn’t authorize entry to the U.S. A visa simply indicates that your application has been reviewed by a consular officer at an American embassy or consulate, and that the officer determined you’re eligible to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry for a specific purpose. The port of entry can be an international airport, a seaport or a land border crossing.
 
2)At the port-of-entry, a U.S. immigration officer of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) decides whether to allow you to enter and how long you can stay for any particular visit, as part of the Admission process. Only the U.S. immigration officer has the authority to permit you to enter the U.S.--I 94

Visa Expiration:
The visa expiration date is shown on the visa along with the visa issuance date. The time between visa issuance and expiration dates is called your visa validity. The visa validity is the length of time you are permitted to travel to a port-of-entry in the U.S.

Depending on your nationality, visas can be issued from a single entry (application) up to multiple/unlimited entries.

A visa issued for a single entry (denoted on the visa under "Entries" with the number 1) is valid, or can be used from the date it is issued until the date it expires to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry one time.

A visa issued for multiple entries (denoted under "entries" with a certain number (2, 3, etc.) or "M" for multiple/unlimited entries) is valid, or can be used from the date it is issued until the date it expires to travel to the U.S. port-of-entry as many times as your visa states, provided that:

Applying for a new visa is not necessary if your visa has not expired and you have not exceeded the number of entries permitted on your visa.

Multiple uses of a visa must be for the same purpose of travel allowable on the type of visa you have.

Please be aware, a visa does not guarantee entry to the U.S. Additionally, the visa expiration date shown on your visa does not reflect how long you are authorized to stay within the U.S. Entry and the length of authorized stay within the U.S. are determined by the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer at the port-of-entry each time you travel--I 94.
