Tapi jika kita bincang tentang perniagaan perniagaan perniagaan, kita akan mempunyai 2 alhat ituただ.  Terlalu banyak. You can click on that later on. But there are a lot of themes, free themes you can use from a WordPress theme directory. The premium themes you can use. Elegant themes, WP Zoom, studio press, a lot of premium themes you can use out there.  Or even there are a lot of site builders. So you can site origin, beaver, there are plugins you can install. You can actually build your site. So create your own sites. Personally, I would say that some of the themes in the free, the WordPress theme directory, they are quite good. So you can use them. They can allow you to customize the look and feel of it. So for the plugin and web service that I would recommend, here is Google Analytics. It's a mask for every website. It tracks all the traffic. And SEO plugins. I would recommend the WordPress SEO. Of course there are several others that are all in one SEO. But this one is the one that I recommend. Contact form. The thing about WordPress is it doesn't come with a contact form. And you need people to contact you. So you have to install a contact form plugin. Contact form 7, Ninja form, WP form, a lot of forms out there. Catching. Yes, this is the part where you want to handle the traffic. When the flood comes in, the catching plugin will help you to manage it. So there are W3 total cache, super cache or WP rockets, all that you can use. Site optimization, this is to improve your loading speed. The lazy loads. So the image don't load until you scroll down. Opto optimize. It minify all your HTML. So your file size is smaller. So image optimization. You want your size to load fast. You want the image to be big enough but not too big. Big enough to see, but not too heavy. So WP smash, Pixpie or Crayton, to optimize the image on the fly. When you upload them, the image they will optimize in the backend and save it. Social sharing, you need all those social buttons. Share this, sumo, they are quite good. You want to wait for your subscriber to subscribe to your content. You need newsletter services and newsletter open form as well. Okay, this is quite important in this HTML5 era. Okay, schema. Schema, they are the markup text that inform the search engine. So what the content are. So for example, if you go to Google, you search for a movie, probably the tour. You know the IMDB, they have this rating of how many stars this thing have, this movie have. There is the schema markup. So you put the schema markup, the Google can know what content it is, how many rating you give. Or if you are a full blog, it's a full nice or not kind of thing. Okay, it's pretty useful. You want to decide to load fast so you need a CDN, content delivery network. Some of the network you can use is a key CDN. Cloud front is by Amazon. It's quite reliable, a bit expensive too. And Jetpack is by workpress.com. You contain a lot of things, a lot of modules, including your social sharing, your comments, a lot of things. So it's quite useful to have it. Okay, now once you have your site set-ups, you need to do some off-site preparation as well. You need to verify your blog URL with Google. What this means is let Google know about your existence. Okay, so you submit your URL to the Google webmaster and also your site map. Site map is a list of your posts so Google can index your content. The WordPress SEO can do all these things for you. Install that plugin. Same thing with Bing, and you need to set up your robot tags. This is a way for Google to know what content to index and what is confidential and do not index. And of course you need to set up accounts. As I say, you have to prepare for a lot of to manage different social media accounts, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram. A lot. So eventually you might need a social media manager to do it for you if your site get very popular. And also you probably need an email marketing company. Something like MailChimp, MailderLite, a webber. MailChimp, they are free for 2,000 subscribers. MailderLite is free for 1,000 subscribers. So set up with them start your email marketing as well. So to get start there are 2 pages you have to create when you first get started. First is about us page. Before you create any other posts, create this first. Talk about yourself. Why people want to know about you. People will really check out your about us page. So when they come to your site, they like your content. Who is this guy talking about? Who is this guy? Who is this company behind this blog? See? The other one is the contact aspect. So, sponsors, advertiser or even users they will contact you. Provide a way for them to contact you. Later on, if the site get more popular you might want to create a privacy policy page. This is probably a must. Google will really take note of this. You have to let the user know you are collecting data. Definitely you are. If you are serving advertisements or collecting email address you are collecting data about them. You have to let them know. It's part of the law. And of the term of use page. If your site is very small and no traffic, the privacy policy and other of you can take it later on. But if your site getting to have a lot of traffic, it's better to have these 2 pages to safeguard your S. You don't want some company to sue you for collecting data or what. So lastly, start blogging. Simple. Right? Simple, right? So just get started. So, we're talking about how to get started. So the second part will be how to make money from it. So for me to be successful in the business blogging, we always follow 3 steps a CTM rule. Create content, drive traffic and monetize. You have to do it in this sequence. You cannot monetize first then you do content. You cannot get traffic first beyond any content. So you have to write content, provide content then you can drive traffic because there is something to show. And with a traffic you can monetize. So when you talk about content, a lot of time people will ask me what should I blog? There are a lot of things to blog about what can I blog. So first of all, if you have an e-commerce site or if you have a physical product to sell, talk about your product. Your blog should be about your product. Talk about tutorials, usage guide, tips and tricks. For example, if you are selling toys, you can talk about tank toys for the Halloween. Or the best way to the best toys for the kids under 3. Something like that. One of the way to find out what to write is of course doing keyword research. It's not a way to Google keyword planner. That is used by the Google AdWords. You can see what people are searching. Trends. Word stream. The most keyword explorer. The most keyword explorer is paid product. So you have to pay for that. But the rest they are free. So just to give you an example. So this is the Google Trend page. So you can see you can categorize by different categories. Business, entertainment, health. If not, just look at the general trend. Scroll down, you can see what is the story training now. Sports. Or people watch sports. Or micro-jection. So it give you a rough idea of what is the topic now. So you can write about it to catch the trend. Okay, one thing what I like to do is always to check out your competitors. I'm sure depending on what niche you are I'm sure you have competitors. Check them out. What are they writing about? So they have done a research. Just follow them. Just copy them. But don't copy the exact same words. Take the same topics. Have your own twist. Write out differently. Publish it. Okay. Okay, this is another feature that I like the Google auto complex feature. I have to give you an example. Now if you go to Google site for example I type WordPress. So you can see you can show you what people are searching about. Popular topics. Okay, WordPress. People are searching for logins, downloads, team. Okay, let's say teams. What is about teams? Oh, I can talk about WordPress team. Three teams. Give me an idea. I can write about 10 best free WordPress team. I give you a good idea of WordPress team portfolio. A lot of people are searching for WordPress team portfolio. You can write about 10 best portfolio WordPress team. So it gives you a very good idea of what to write. And one thing is the last thing is really, really ask your reader. Okay. You just publish assuming you have a lot of traffic. Just publish a post. What do you want to read? Next. You'll be surprised that people will tell you what they want. This can be in your newsletter as well. If you're sending newsletter you can send a newsletter out there. If you're doing a survey tell us what you want to read. Then they'll tell you all you have a lot of topic to write about. Okay. Next thing is how fragrant should you blog? I mean how many posts do you publish? But also you publish 5 artikel per hari. So how many should you do? So depending on your niche preferably it's a minimum of 3 artikel per week. Okay. You want to let Google know that your site is active. You want to let your user know that this site is active. Okay. Of course if you're talking about straight times newsletter, do you expect to read 1 artikel every day? You don't. So it really depends on your niche but it's good to have at least 3 artikel per week. And how long do you write? Okay. So once again it depends on your niche. It can go as long as 2,000 words or more. Okay. Or if you're just talking about quick news or gossip probably about 100 words, 200 words. But Google do actually rank artikel with more words. Minimum of about 400 would be the best minimum. Okay. One thing is that the frequency and the content length they are quite going hand in hand. If you have one article, if you publish a long article every time, you can have less frequency. If you publish like a news article short one, probably you will need more publish more. So they always go hand in hand. People really expect less when they read more things. Of course it's good if you can write a long article and publish frequently is good. Okay. But people can people can expect lesser with a more detailed article. So there's no hard rule on the work count. So your article you should always ask is the content relevant? It's a content detail. So it's a content useful for a reader. So my experience tell me that the tutorial base and the list article the round-ups 10 of the best 5 best this article they usually perform the best. So the last thing is it's a content better than your competitors. Even if you are copying from them are you able to write better than them? Okay. Okay. So we done with the content part. Now it's a traffic generation. Okay. There are a few source of traffic search engine. Okay. You never want to miss out on this. You will be your major traffic actually Google or e-mail newsletter. Okay. It's actually the second highest traffic source for my site. Okay. So make sure you have a mailing list. Okay. Your referer if you are writing gas post or link from other blogs, forums and one of the best way is to go to Quora Q&A site. People ask questions. If you see relevant to your niche answer it. Put a link back to your site. Okay. Definitely to a relevant tutorials. It's a very good way to drive traffic and of course social media. So these are the four main sources that you should take note of. So make sure your content is optimized. So start a mailing list and send a daily or weekly newsletter to your subscriber. Write gas post or participate in foreign discussions and update your social media account with your articles. So you need to tell people what to do. So tell them please share my content. Please share. Please share. And they will share. Okay. And now if you have extra budget and you can advertise Google, AdWords, Facebook, Twitter. I think for content base article is good in Facebook and Twitter. For product base article is good in Google AdWords. So they are quite different. So something to know about your Google search results. Okay. Now if you optimize your content that doesn't mean you rank number one. See everyone is using the same plugin to optimize their content. So everyone content is optimized. So how does Google gauge which one go first? So even if you optimize your content it doesn't mean you'll be number one. Okay. A lot of factors. The three main factors your site each. How long have this site been around? The reputations. Okay. Is it do you have a malware in your site or is it publishing a lot of negative stuff? Okay. A reputation. Number of imbal links. How many sites it link to you? So they play a very major factor in search ranking. So the Google actually take note of this few factor before they look at the content. So if you are rank in number one in the search page search result page and rank number two it make a lot of difference. The traffic probably is a different for 50%. And if you are listing in the first page and the second page make even more difference. You probably won't get any traffic for the second page. So your aim is to become the first. Okay. If not the second aim for the first. So you have your content. You have your traffic. The last thing is monetization. It's actually very easy. Once you have a traffic. No traffic. No money. Have traffic. You do anything also make money. So if you are selling product you already have your own business, own e-commerce just put a cost to action. Please buy my products. Okay. One of the way that highly trafficked site do is add advertisement on the site. Okay. This is one of the way to make money. Don't use it as a prempry way of making money. Because advertisement only make money only worth it when you have a high traffic site. So sponsorships for us we do a lot of sponsored reviews review software review hardware a lot of time and we charge for it. Affiliate marketing refer to other products other people products make money. Email marketing yes we do make money from our email list. Okay. So there's a good way to make money as well. Okay. You can create your own products selling e-books causes webinar any other software any other things. Okay. Of course you can be physical product as well but personally I prefer digital products. Okay. There's no inventory to take care of. Okay. And job shipping if you are if you really want to sell physical product but you don't want to own your own stuff. Okay. Okay. So the golden advice is actually very easy to be successful you only need consistent and persistent. You can start today doesn't matter but you have to be consistent and you have to persist because as I say Google check your site age means how long have you been around you start today and you around probably one year two year later you rank high. Okay. It's not that immediate you make money but if you are consistent and persistent you will eventually. Okay. Okay. That's all. Really, really that's all. Any questions? Anyone have a question for Mr. Damian? I would like to ask you for content distribution Hello. I would like to ask for content distribution is a great issue. Right. So how do you guys distribute your content I mean the blog or other form of content? Oh, we we update to our social media account we have quite a lot of big followers we have a lot of followers for our site we update to our social media accounts we publish newsletter and we actually notify a lot of the blogs we have liars with so sometimes they do mention our site as well. I'm working in a WordPress product company so I'm looking after the content and marketing team the whole. So in our case we find it very difficult to distribute the content. I mean we are also posting over the Twitter, Facebook and other platform LinkedIn as well but the thing is you don't get that much traffic from the content you just share right? So is there any trick that you guys are following for distributing the content in a better way? No, one thing you must know is that not every content is good, you know sometimes there are some it's like normal some content are meant to go viral like if you are creating an infographic they tend to go viral very easily so you can actually contact a lot of blogs a lot of other sites to help them to share your contents so the trick is to create content that people will want to share rather than just thinking about sharing to Facebook even if you share to Facebook, Twitter not everyone will create on it because it's not interesting So from which platform do you get the most traffic? I mean for your company which platform work best? For my company for my site actually we work with a lot of other blogs so that is the most effective methods so every time we publish some stuff we inform them and sometimes you just link up link back actually work best even for better than Facebook or even Twitter Do you also think that newsletter is a great way to distribute the content because we find newsletter from newsletter we get the higher conversion rate and also Ya, correct newsletter is a good way but newsletter is only for people who already subscribed so you still need to reach out to people who have not heard of your site as well Okay, thank you Hi David enjoy the talk so you mentioned inside there was a way to monetize via email marketing so how do you actually monetize your email marketing plan? so e-mail newsletter you can add calls to actions so talk about your products get them to buy put a big buy now button or you can actually put affiliate marketing affiliate marketing in your email newsletter we do sell e-book as well so e-mail newsletter is the best way for us to promote e-books and we sell it as well and one thing about your email marketing is you can do a repeat sales keep sending a lot of sales material to your subscriber what's your view of this talk about gas blogging so are we still able to post the same blog in someone else blog which was previously published previously published I don't advise that for me when I'm doing gas blogging I will write a better content that I'll usually write for my own site so far I will put the best content in other site the reason is that when people read the other site the reader of the other blog when they read the article they have to feel obliged to visit your own site okay so you have to write a better content to comment them to come over to our site hello thanks for the talk ya okay thanks for the talk you mentioned earlier that you have grown make tech make tech easier to organization of 28 people and I'm interested to find out in terms of your ops distribution how do you actually tie the responsibility to these 28 people across a blog to maintain this property you mean what you mean maintain the different rules ya so how do you come to a point to say okay I need 28 people and then what do these 28 people do okay a big proportion of the my 28 staff they are writers so we do have a system for them to write to select on the topic to write so we do have editors who really addicted to work before they go live we do have our own system to handle it okay think that the topic that I talked about last last year work camp ya so we do have our own system for when the writer come in they will choose the topic to write then once they write they will submit for reviews the editor will do the job of reviewing and sharing for the publication ya so we do have a social media manager who after the site after the article went live they will take the article and link it to different social media account hi so you mentioned that you can do get engagement from sponsorships review I mean how do you engage them and to get the review and also you do mention that email marketing that generates income the most income right so you actually sell products through the email marketing thank you okay we do put the product in the email of course you can't really do transaction in the email but email is a way to link the user back to your site or even to a product that you are trying to sell we do in our daily newsletter we do put in some affiliate marketing some tech product there on a discount so when they see that's a discount they buy it we got sales of a part of a sales commission so we do provide free e-books which actually when they download the e-book we get paid for that so it's free so they go it for free but we got paid for that okay even for our own e-books we just mention it we just learn a new e-book so they come over interested they will buy as well so that's how we make money what's your first question again? or sponsorship the thing is for our site we don't really actively go and find sponsorship the sponsor come to us every day we do receive a lot of emails asking for reviews of the products so we actually filter them out and only select a few who are good and from there on we negotiate a course with them and we that only happen when you have a high traffic site of course when you are just starting out you can do sponsored review but the advertiser will ask how many people are visiting our site is it worth it to to publish on your site you get me? but it's a way to make money when your site grows hi how do you build a network of bloggers that will carry your content so if you are going to start if I'm going to start now fresh how do I then reach out to bloggers of a similar interest and build a network one of the ways to start reading their blogs start reading their blogs and find out more about them so start to know more about them and start to comments on their site and start to email them giving some feedbacks once you receive the trust you can then start to suggest can I guest blog on your site or maybe just ask them can you share this content one of the way one of my user do to me he keep comments on every article that I publish so until then oh I know who he see so when he email me for anything I will say almost say yes so he ask me hey can you help me to publish this okay I trust you I help him to publish his post so that's a good way so keep commenting on his site until he know you or keep pastoring him in a way in a good way until he know you I understand that you started from a blog so how long did it take for you to grow from a blog to your website today I will say that when I first started out in 2007 the landscape is a bit different from now now it seems that everyone is starting to blog but at 2007 actually few people really know about blogs not even WordPress just the very first initial state of WordPress so at that time the strategy used is different from now okay by probability about one year for me to start making money or to break even I will say to break even and to hire my first staff probably about one year okay hi thanks for the speech I just want to ask like a marketing kind of question I think do you feel that like in the next three years forward email marketing and Google search or SEO wise it's the best way forward because it's so saturated right now everyone is trying to do it and now there are so many new channels such as like Medium Quora or even Facebook Bots itself do you see about that okay when I first started Google is the give me the most traffic 10 years now Google is still give me the most traffic so I will say 10 years later probably they will still give me the most traffic okay so unless people change in their habits of they don't search anymore if unless that happen you still need to rely on Google okay so definitely you can use other strategy like Quora okay but it's not as efficient as Google they still give you the probably about 40% to 50% or even 70% of traffic okay first page okay depending on the topics on the niche if you're talking about a very popular niche quite difficult for example in a a very tight niche a very small niche you really can get into a first page so I just I just want to ask you about sponsorship because normally sponsor you get paid to talk about the product so do you have difficulty when you have a post sponsor at the reader I know that okay it's paid for that so it might be the content it's not very good or he purposely write it to get the money how do you feel about the traffic of the content that you got sponsored we do declare that there is a sponsored post so before the user click it they will know that there is a sponsored post and yeah is to let the user but we do let them know that even though this is a sponsored post the review is unbiased so we can talk bad thing about that as well we do tell that to the sponsor and they say okay just do the full review okay that's one more one more so to manage a team of writer and the website what's the most challenging part of what's the most challenging part to manage a team of writers challenging part actually we set up a system so it's not that changing anymore so everything is systemized we do have a pool of writers so big enough to cover our article article account everyday the challenging part is when we first started first hire our first writer we do have enough cash to hire the second one so we rely a lot on the first writer to come out with articles so when he don't submit article I feel very stressed okay but as we increase our head count the stress getting lesser and lesser okay so thank you thank you Damien so now we will proceed out for lunch the lunch


if you have a company page on LinkedIn, did you know that you can comment on other people's posts as your company page, especially if it's a public post? So let me go and show you what that looks like here on screen. So I'm on LinkedIn here and I'm just scrolling down to a post and I am not able to comment on this as my company page because this is a particular type of post that's really for Natasha's personal network. So, you know, as you can see here, I can only comment as my personal profile. Okay, and let me show you one that I can comment as my business page. So scroll down here. When you see that they're next to the like button or when you click comment, oh yeah, actually it is next to the like button, when you see that there is the ability, see over here with Natasha, I couldn't, there's no profile picture, right? Next to the like button. But here, next to the like button, there is a profile picture, I click on that and I can now comment or like it or interact with that post as my business page. And the benefit of doing that is the audience that sees this post will see that it's George Garthentic business coach who is commenting and then therefore they might come to my company page and interact with me there. And so the question is, is this post or is the audience for this post excellent for people to follow my company page? Are they ideal audience members for my company? And if so, then it would be a good idea to switch over to my company page instead of my personal profile. So that's how you do that. I hope this is helpful and you're welcome to share any other tips for LinkedIn in this regard below as well. Thanks.


Shazbot, name of the wind, name of the wind, Shazbot suggested this movie and paid for a review of it. So let me just say it first, let me get the bad stuff out of the way. I don't particularly like Japanese animation. The wind rises, that is it, the wind rises, the wind rises, yes, not gone with the wind, the wind rises, Japanese movie, not a movie glorifying the south. The wind rises is Japanese movie, it's animated, so I don't particularly like Japanese animation. It's Miyazaki, Miyazaki is the director I guess, and the movie is called The Wind Rises. I don't particularly like, I know you guys like Japanese animation, a lot of you grew up on it. I like Pixar and Disney animation. I find it simplistic and childish now. They managed to somehow convey emotions with it, but I don't think as powerfully as they could if they were using more realistic animation. Granted that, it was beautifully done. The movie is beautiful. The combination of story, music and drawing was quite striking and mostly riveting in a positive sense. The story is beautiful, it's touching, it's value driven, it's about a man who wants to do this. Now, it's undermined a little bit by the fact that he is designing war planes for the Japanese before World War II, but it's based on a true story. What you get from the movie is this kid and then guys, real passion for science, for building these planes, for designing them, for beautiful things, for designing beautiful things, for making things that are beautiful. It was inspiring. It was very pro science, pro production. It was very touching, there was a love story, very beautiful love story in the background, but you can see that his central purpose in life is his career, his central purpose in life in spite of the love is the planes.  I think it could have been even more powerful with the right kind of animation. But I get that some people really like that, so if you like, suddenly if you like Japanese animation, this is definitely a movie worth seeing, the wind rises, it's got positive values, it's got positive values, and again, ultimately designing war planes and they fly with bombs and they kill people, but it's truly beautifully done and a heroic character, and it's about living and staying alive and pursuing life and pursuing your values and pursuing the things that you really care about, the things that are most important to you, and it's about career and about your central purpose being a career, so you know, I really enjoyed it, recommend it, so first Charles Butt movie I've actually enjoyed. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think, meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations, any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence, and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist, bro. Alright, before we go on, reminder, please like the show, we've got 163 live listeners right now, 30 likes, that should be at least 100, I figure at least 100 of you actually like the show, maybe they're like 60 of the Matthews out there who hate it, but at least the people who are liking it, you know, I want to see a thumbs up, there you go, start liking it, I want to see that go to 100, all it takes is a click of a thing, whether you're looking at this, and you know the likes matter, it's not an issue of my ego, it's an issue of the algorithm, the more you like something, the more the algorithm likes it, so you know, if you don't like the show, give it a thumbs down, let's see your actual views being reflected in the likes, but if you like it, don't just sit there, help get the show promoted, of course, you should also share, and you can support the show at your own book show dot com slash support on Patreon or Subscribestar or locals, and show your support for the work, for the value, hopefully you're receiving from this, and of course don't forget, if you're not a subscriber, even if you just come here to troll, or even if you're here like Matthew to defend Marx, then you should subscribe, because that way you'll know when to show up, you'll know what shows are on, when they're on, you'll get notified, right, so yes, like, share, subscribe, support, like, share, subscribe, support, there you go, easy, do one or all of those, please.


In today's video, we are going to talk about some interesting facts and myths about the Berman cat. There are many different cat breeds out in our society today that continually win the hearts of cat owners and cat lovers all across the globe, however, among all of these cat breeds, one of the most popular that we often see in homes everywhere is a Berman cat. The Berman also called the sacred cat of Burma, is one of the oldest cat breeds. It is a long-haired domestic cat distinguished by its striking, sapphire blue eyes. In addition to the eyes, a trademark sign of a Berman cat are symmetrical white paws like into that of gloves. Berman cat is a long, large cat, the Berman is territorial but not aggressive and captures attention with very unusual markings. Here are some interesting facts about Berman cat. 1. No one's knows exactly where the breed first originated. Although the breed does indeed have a legend or folktale that describes where many believe they first originated, it is not actually for certain where the breed first came from. Many believe, as legend will tell, that the breed originated in Burma, now known as Myanmar, among the temples of ancient times and alongside priests. However, there are also some that later believe the felines came to Europe, namely France, from somewhere in Asia, which has been spread from other legends and stories passed around as well. Regardless of the numerous stories and folklore that go around, there is a positivity that the Berman cat breed was found in France as early as the 1920s, and many different stories continue to surface about the mystique that lies behind their history. 2.

Coloration that changes with age. The Berman cat is well known for its beautiful beige coat and other color features with its physique. However, the Berman is actually born completely white, and the color that is present in adulthood continues to change throughout their life. You will often notice that the majority of these older cats have much darker legs, ears, and facial features than those of younger kittens. However, this does not affect the white paws that they are beginning at birth, often referred to as mittens or gloves, as this is a genetic trait that is found in every Berman cat to date.

In fact, if you didn't keep a watchful eye on your Berman, you probably wouldn't even know when they sneak up behind you or make their way next to you on the sofa. 9. Lack of genetic diversity within the breed. This is pretty self-explanatory, due to the fact that no one is quite sure where the Berman cat breed first originated from, but the breed itself has a genuine lack of diversity when compared to other breeds in our society today. Often more than not, we will see different variations in breeds that relate them to one another, like cousins if you will, this is not the case with the Berman breed. In fact, in a study that was conducted just about 10 years ago, it was concluded that the Berman is actually one of the breeds with the lowest genetic diversity out of all the breeds. 10. They could be considered as a hypoallergenic breed. This is an intriguing tidbit for those that are allergy sufferers when it comes to cats and their dander. Many cats have thick double coats that are prone to heavy shedding, making it hard for allergy sufferers to even be around them. But, when it comes to the Berman breed, they have that unique single layer coat of finely laid and soft fur, making it less prone to shedding dander and fur throughout the home. Although they aren't classified as a completely hypoallergenic cat breed, the Berman is an excellent choice for a pet if you love cats, but often get the sniffles from them. 11. Living with a Berman cat. Being a larger cat and somewhat stocky, to begin with, Bermans can become overweight. Daily exercise can help keep her in good physical condition. In addition, grooming your Berman daily to prevent matting of the fine fur. With their beautiful coloration, along with their general playful and fun-loving personality, they are a cat breed that can make the most out of any situation. The friendly laidback Berman is a perfect choice for families with children and cat-friendly dogs. He loves the attention he receives from children who treat him politely and with respect, and he doesn't mind playing dress up or going for a ride in a baby buggy.
