Facebook lacks many of the options of getting your name out there.
With the sheer mass of users and a news feed algorithm, paying a bit for extended reach and boost can help.
Some Tips:
To those interested in your niche use advertising.
Retarget the ads to audiences who have visited your blog or webpage.
Your brand can have a handful of calls-to-action on its blog, including your HelloBar at the top of the page and a slide up box that appears as you scroll.
Either of these could be used for Facebook calls-to-action as well.
There is a distinction between individual users and business users on Pinterest.

Pinterest provides five styles of widgets and buttons that you can place on your website.
To get the content on your website more traction on Pinterest just use The Pin It button.
To build the Follow button just enter your Pinterest URL and your full name.
For placing wherever you’d like the button to appear you will get an HTML code.
If you like to display an interactive preview of all your pins or just the pins from a particular board, the profile and board widgets will let you do them.
Matthew Barby has many great strategies for gaining more initial followers on various social networks.
This is a great strategy that he has tested for Pinterest with great success:
Seek a selection from Pinterest pages of your competitors and click on their followers.
For around two weeks go through and follow about 50-100 of their followers’ boards each day.
Based on hashtags relevant to your niche, you can also search for users.
Create around 5 and 10 boards of your own that cover across a range of different topics.
You need the aim to create other 3-4 boards every week.
From your website, pin as much content as possible into a selection of your different boards.
To each pin, put long descriptions with around 2-4 hashtags.
At one time don’t pin too many things.
No more than 10-15 pins in an hour try to stick.
Do twice a day, go through your feed and repin about 10 pins onto your different boards
