How to MAXIMIZE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA REACH!

The best action I get on Twitter is the use of hashtags. Some people say that looks amateurish, but it gets me waaaay more responses than when I don't use them *shrug* YMMV

What about Instagram, can it help with marketing or is it not the best idea?

Part of me wishes that we didn't have to do this, and we could just write.

Well, you can always hire someone to do this work for you. Publishers hire Millennial wage-slaves to pretend to be various authors on Twitter all day. But if you're going to self-publish, that's a job you have to do. After all, they don't call it "self-writing."

Spartan,
The particular social media that you choose to promote yourself/your books should depend on where your target audience hangs out. If your target audience (based on your target readers' age, gender, hobbies, etc.) hangs out at Instagram, then that would be a good choice. Hope that helps.
