⭐️ Why did SM choose Watsons over Mercury Drug? And how exactly did Watsons get this big? Here's the complete history of Watsons, and how it's so much bigger than you think it is.

Had no idea that Nestlé paid over $7 billion for the rights to sell Starbucks-branded coffee in supermarkets and retail. Basically everything outside the actual Starbucks cafés.

This created the line known as Starbucks at Home. Genius move for Nestle. Instead of competing with Starbucks, they partnered and extended their reach further into a category they otherwise wouldn't have entered.

Last night, we found a flight ₱10,000 cheaper on Skyscanner. How do they make money since it's a free app? 🤔🤔

It's a simple business model but very powerful:
• Clicks (CPC): every time you click an offer, they earn
• Bookings (CPA): if you book, they earn more
• Sponsored spots: airlines/agencies pay to rank higher
• API fees: other sites use their data and share revenue
• Insurance referrals: they earn when you buy coverage

Great model, really. It's a win-win for all of us.

Wild to think this all started in 2001 when the founder got tired of manually comparing flights in Excel. Fast forward, it was sold in 2016 for $1.74 billion to Trip(.)com
