Definitely try getting an IG if you can, although it does take a while to accumulate a real following (by real I mean people who actually follow you for your stories and not just follow-for-follows).
I published a story a few weeks ago and didn’t announce it. I gained 10 reads in a day. I announced the story and gained 200 reads overnight. So social media does help (although, I have built up a great following already which took time).
