Honestly, I think that this is something that you should have been thinking about back when you were deciding on a name. You need to be able to create a complete online presence, and it makes it much simpler for your future customers if your website and user IDs are the same wherever they try to look you up.
You can try using a service such as KnowEm. While there are paid options available, it also tells you what names are available on what platforms, and you can just go register accordingly.
As a minimum, you probably want:
- a registered domain (www.yourbusiness.com)
- a Facebook page
- an Etsy store or some other sales platform
If you're into it, I would also suggest
- a blog
The more you are available, the more attention and traffic you can draw. But don't try to stretch yourself too thin, if you're not already active on social media it's easy to get overwhelmed trying to keep up with it all. Register an account if you're thinking about it (or even if you're not if you'd prefer nobody else getting to use the user ID), and take things one account at a time. Once your twitter is doing well, then start with instagram.
I'm no social media genius, I'm actually not that great at it at all, so I don't have many tips for getting followers. Just keep at it, network, and use #hashtags
