So liquidity here means whether there is a demand for my Blah-tokens, whether people are willing to buy it for their hard earned cash, gold bars, coffee beans or whatever.

How does Ethereum help create a demand for my Blah-tokens? I can already open a web-shop that sells Blah-tokens. I'm fairly sure the demand will be very low, though. Please explain further how an 'automatic market maker like uniswap' will create demand for my Blah-tokens.

You should probably read up on how automated market makers work. It's going to take a long time to get to the interesting parts if you just guess randomly and expect people to correct you.
It doesn't create demand, it just makes it liquid which would otherwise be a tremendous hurdle.

Liquid markets enable demand though.
