(Then let's try to understand the market at a macro level and evaluate the trends and tailwinds/headwinds.)
Now it’s time for some math, calculate the size of your market.
TAM = Total no. of potential customers x Average Revenue Per Customer (ARPU)
SAM = TAM x Target Market Segment (percentage of the total market)
SOM = SAM x Market Penetration/Share
TAM = Total number of potential customers x ARPU
TAM = 500,000,000 x 1200 = ₹600,000,000,000
SAM = TAM x Target Market Segment (percentage)
SAM = ₹600,000,000,000 x 0.30 = ₹180,000,000,000
SOM = SAM x Market Share (percentage)
SOM = ₹180,000,000,000 x 0.05 = ₹9,000,000,000
(keep in mind the stage of your company before choosing your channels for acquisition.)

​
Step 1 → Nail down your content creator, content distributor and your channel of distribution
Step 2 → Decide which type of loop you want to build out.
Step 3 → Create a simple flow diagram to represent the content loop.
The content loop strategy of following hashtags and commenting focuses on engaging with relevant conversations in your niche. By following trending and targeted hashtags (e.g., #PregnancyTips, #CareerAdvice), you can find content where your audience is already active. Commenting meaningfully on posts under these hashtags allows you to increase your visibility, build relationships, and foster engagement. This organic approach encourages users to check out your profile, interact with your content, and even follow you, creating a cycle of continuous engagement and growth. It positions your brand as active, helpful, and trusted within your niche.
