I personally believe you can't go wrong with SEO. It should always be part of your strategy, even if you do social media marketing, because it's a long-term strategy.
Based on your product description, I think you'd do pretty well on Threads. Possibly Instagram, if you create images with quotes from your site. You could add related images to dress it up in Canva if you wish. I'm surprised Pinterest doesn't do better for you, but Pinterest isn't necessarily social media -- it's part of a website strategy since it's designed as a visual search engine.
Not sure what the use case for your product is, though, besides a catalogue of quotes.
For now it‘s just me dumping in quotes that I‘ve gathered on my computer. If the site takes traction as it is, I‘m planning to help indie writers feature quotes from their books, and a link back to their books, so people can purchase them. I also have more ideas, but I‘ll leave them for further into the future.
If you do decide you want to share indie authors' quotes, let me know! I'm a copy editor for indie authors (and several publishers), and I'm really entrenched in those communities (as both an indie author and reader myself).
I assume most of the authors would not be specifically writing on philosophical and spiritual topics. That makes me think that I probably need to adjust the brand positioning for Zenpen to a more general, less zen-like niche. That way, I can open up the brand to all types of indie authors, as long as the quotes are deep and meaningful.
If this is a success, and I get lots of visits to the website, it should be valuable for authors to get exposure, and valuable for me, if I get royalties from the book sales because the links from the quotes point out to the source that can be purchased.

How do you envision people use this?

I'd be happy to help if I can! 😄
Oh, that would be lovely.
