The Fediverse demographic skews very heavily away from anything that smells even remotely like promotion or sales (and especially AI).
Your best bet, and possibly the only meaningful way, to leverage the Fediverse as a business is to use it for thought leadership. Write, post, comment about specific meaningful things your business is centered around. Do not promote, do not use contextual links, do not direct people to your website for more info.
This isn’t a place for direct lead gen at scale. It’s a place to accumulate like minded people, and work towards those people talking about you inside their own networks.
It’s the long game, recognition and association; not engagement and monetization.
Yes this actually makes sense, Having meaningful interactions well not purposely directing people to products or services can reduce the number of people purchasing said things it is better to have a great interaction with people and have a good connection with those in your community.
This is something any business using the Fediverse will have to learn (and I’m trying to do with my own small business). Thanks for your feedback, I will keep it in mind.
