The way I see it, Mastodon is like a party.
- When you arrive at the door, you politely say hello.
- You join a discussion instead of standing in the corner.
- You excitedly talk about your work, but you also listen to others talk.
- When your crush rejects your offer to dance, you don't keep asking them.
I think anyone marketing their business who follows good social etiquette will find Mastodon welcoming.
The problems start when business owners post to a community they never interact with.

In addition to Evan Sky as someone mentioned, @potterybyosa is also a great example of someone who combines high quality posts with marketing for her business. By that measure, anyone self-employed can absolutely build an audience on Mastodon if they put the time, effort, and thoughtfulness into this community.
