What can I do to make my business attract more attention from social media sites?
I have an Etsy.com business, and it's off to a good start. But now I am ready to take the next step and get more orders for my store. I promote it on Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, but that doesn't seem to be enough. Is there something I'm missing? What additional steps should I take?

I would ask you if you have a mission and a vision statement prominently placed in your Social Media and advertising campaigns...Basically the question I ask you is : What Part of the The Customers Mind do you wish to Own? I suggest you read Positioning...and then work toward SEO and not much on the wealth of products you offer but the benefits of buying from you...

Alice, you do not tell us what business you are in. In most cases, to draw attention to your business, you need to draw attention to yourself. Something that works well on LinkedIn: join discussion groups of which your potential customers are members and participate in as many discussion as possible (I obviously I mean valuable contribution - waffling does not have a good impact).

As a beginner to such a business, you should realize that it takes time to grow. I suggest you run a promotion for the product to encourage people to patronize the product and possibly introduce it on a far-reaching social medium like LinkedIn. I wish you well.

High quality content that helps your target customers buy. Promotions are good but people don't like to be sold to. You need to help them. Why are they buying your products? Talk to your customers and find out and then craft content that aligns with that.

Like Joseph is implying, you need to be explicit about your BRAND.
Do yourself (and your business) a favor and ask your customers why they bought/buy your products.
Research your customers "non-verbal" reasons & purpose for being associated with your products (and the "you" identity) and develop a larger story of "you" in terms of "them."
Start telling the story of that identity and build a brand around that you-them association. Use your products as markers along the journey of your "life changing" discovery of your artwork in relation to expanding/enhancing your customers inner and outer lives. Make your posts tie to this unfolding of story.
Good luck and have fun!

It may not be that you are using the wrong outlets or that it isn't enough, most of the time it is the content itself.
Are you posting push marketing information or are you posting engaging posts that your followers can read and comment on?
