I have Facebook and have started business cards, only given out a few so far, but haven't had much chance to get out and hand them around. I'm soon to try a website, just designing it at the moment so it can be maintenance free as I don't see it being too beneficial that it will warrant spending more time on the computer doing that stuff then I already am.
But really I think the best way is commenting on other videos and being active in forums related to what your videos are about, as those members are the type that will be more inclined to actually watch the videos.

I went the whole hog and set up IG, FB and Twitter pages. Honestly I really can't be bothered to keep the things updated. As my motovlog accounts are all separate from my personal accounts, it's a lot more effort to keep going than one's personal stuff (which I don't do either). I have not noticed any advantage to having social media platforms, unless you are very active.
Interestingly I've noticed that some people who asked me via PM on one of the social media platforms to sub to them, have a lot of subs but a slightly disproportionate amount of views less than they should have. So a channel with just under 2000 subs only gets about 120-150 views per vid. I suppose that supports the suspicion that people on one platform may not go over to YT. I've noticed on IG that most of my followers and "likers" over there never comment on my vids, so I can only assume they don't watch them either.
At this point my social media platforms, especially FB and Twitter, are just a token effort. I still interact with other motovloggers on IG but that's about it. I think being active on YT is probably as, if not more, beneficial to your channel

I am part of this forum, and some other forums and Facebook groups. But while I do share the videos to let people know they are out there I don't expect much from it.
