As we enter an era where online communities may make or ruin aspirations of self-employment, TikTok Shop stands out as a safe space for all people to feel empowered and included. On this International Women’s Day, Marketing In Asia is thrilled to feature three remarkable female TikTok Shop founders whose stories of self-discovery and acceptance are changing the face of digital success.
Embarking on Empowerment
TikTok Shop has deftly constructed a community of artists from all walks of life, who masterfully weave their own stories into honest and upbeat entertainment. Artists such as @dapurmahir, @almiyaz.my, and @nl.alchemist have found success here by sharing their stories in ways that promote equality, visibility, and achievement.
Mahirah Ramli: A Culinary Virtuoso’s Ascendancy
Mahirah Ramli, better known by her Twitter handle, @dapurmahir, personifies tenacity. In August 2022, she set off on her trip with the humble goal of sharing her delicious culinary creations with the world. Her captivating and instructive material on kitchenware not only drew an ever-expanding audience but also set the stage for her business adventure, so what happened next was a tale of unexpected triumph.
Her journey reflects her ability to maintain a work-life balance, all the while leveraging the platform’s flexibility to manage her time for work and her family. She has received praise and admiration from the TikTok Shop community and beyond for her multi-talented work as a content producer, mother, and wife.
Nurliza Ahmad: Blending Science with Beauty
@nl.alchemist, real name Nurliza Ahmad, brings a beautiful harmony to TikTok Shop with her combination of science and aesthetics. Nurliza took a unique turn in her career as a cosmetic chemist, drawing on her extensive training in the field to help her audience better understand the science underlying skincare and cosmetics. Her specialised knowledge in the world of beauty and skincare, and willingness to share this information helped her TikTok account grow rapidly. Breaking her own sales records is only one of many milestones along her path to stardom, which highlights the influence of her one-of-a-kind content on the TikTok Shop ecosystem.
