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

      It’s less about only doing business on TikTok (there are many, however), but of all the other social media platforms, they get more engagement and sales from TikTok. (Ask yourself how many people are successfully selling their products and services on Lemmy, for example)

      It allows people to make chained response videos that also shows their work, as well as illuminating the personality and goals of the people who run the business.

      Connectivity between videos, with video responses to comments, is a powerful tool that TikTok does better, and it’s created a boon for many who are self employed.

      When 170 million Americans are using the platform, your level of exposure skyrockets.

        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?
