Ask yourself how many people are successfully selling their products and services on Lemmy, for example

I’m still stuck on asking how many people are successfully selling their products and services on TikTok.

Like, what businesses are these and what are they selling? I wouldn’t imagine any of these social media platforms would be good for selling anything on. What’s an example of something I could go on TikTok and buy? I couldn’t imagine buying anything on any social media platform. I’ve never even seen anyone selling anything on any social media platform. How would I even do that if I wanted to?

The numbers presented on TikTok are absolutely 100% made up nonsense.

I see this sentiment a lot but I don’t understand, which small business are doing all of their business exclusive on TikTok?

It looks like a platform for generating and hosting personal websites/ landing pages or whatnot that you can host under their domain. The “digital soul pods” is nonsense but there there is an actual term for what i think the creator is driving at which is Digital Gardens.

There is actual a product just like this that already exists, though for the life of me I can’t remember the name of it. https://we-b.site/ Is one.

Just think of what Substack or Medium are for bloggers, but for a more versatile personal page about whatever you want.

Linktree is a (the most?) popular personal landing page for all your social media links and such. It’s functionally like a universal bio you can link to in the bios of all your different social media apps, and it contains links back to them.

There are existing free open source self hostable alternatives like Linkstack which I use. I’m assuming OPs project is something similar.
