Explanation
Total Addressable Market (TAM) represents the entire revenue opportunity available if a product achieved 100% market share. It's the theoretical maximum. Understanding TAM helps evaluate whether an opportunity is worth pursuing. A niche might seem small but have a large TAM when you consider global reach. For creators, TAM thinking helps identify whether your expertise area has enough potential audience to sustain your goals, even if you'll only capture a fraction of it.
