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.

Thank you, @chris. I would say about 90% of my posts share information related to clay (including other people’s work) and maybe 10% sales? Marketing posts aren’t very fun but sharing my passion with interested ppl is. The key for me, though, is that I’ve never relied solely on social media for marketing and I don’t think any business should. I’ve been building my own email list for many years. Any serious biz owner should not rely solely on a 3rd party platform for marketing.
