#6 – How Much Can You Make from Tteok?
September turned out to be even more of a whirlwind than I expected, but as it drew to a close I sat back down to write. I knew if I let the month end without posting at least one Money Machine piece, I'd regret it when I looked back at my monthly post counts later.

#5- Do Pop-Up Stores Really Make a Lot of Money?
My company office is located right next to Seongsu Station, so I've been watching Seongsu's transformation every day for about two years. One of the things that makes this dynamic neighborhood special is how many pop-up stores it has — new ones appear and disappear every single day.

For a long time, when thinking about what business could be done in the AI industry, I thought that securing AI training data would fit Buffett's concept of a 'tollgate business.'

#1- How Does "Sports Monster" Make Money?
Since I was young, I've had a desire to become someone who can see the "money-making structure" of things — and even better, someone who can build one. After years of just talking about it, I decided to assign myself homework: to take products I encounter as a user, companies I examine for work or interest, and services that are trending, and write down my thinking focused on "how do they make money?" The first Money Machine to examine is Sports Monster.
