    You can find other freelancers on twitter and start following them. When they tweet something new you reply to them and say something about the info they shared.

    Similarly you should tweet about your niche so that your followers should get your updates on the same niche.

    Don't just start promoting your site, no one will follow you if you do so.

    This technique is working for me at least :)

    visit wefollow.com - a twitter directory and find some people who have the same interests as you. Just look at what they do on Twitter

    When it comes to twitter i think its imperative to get followers who are of interest and also follow those who are of interest. Its not all about numbers. Use the search tool on twitter to find people who post about similar things to you, this way you can find relevant people to follow,if you are an active and interesting tweeter people will want to follow you

    I think you should follow people in your clients field. Just tweet often, but don't try to sound like you selling something in every tweet.

    I'm not really a twitter fan but I think I'm going to write out a plan on how to make twitter work for me. But for your clients you can have them follow you and post updates. But I read somewhere that you shouldn't make your twitter page all about advertising, create personality to your page.

    Don't forget to use lists to capture many of the threads you want to monitor related to your business.

    You must get many followers to you're twitter account, because if you get many followers it can easy to promote..
    You can promote and give information about you're site in status ...

    Thanks

    Search people with your relevant keywords and tweet them regarding your work. Tell them what you are working for? Share some interesting things with them.

    i will suggest you to find some good twitter applications who can ease your work in finding good and active people on twitter.
    You can also start using Socialoomph.com. This is a Twitter application where you can do different settings to make your task easy of finding people. I will tell you about only one thing and that is that there is one section in this application, for keyword placing. You can just go and add max 50 keywords over there, which you think are of your interest or may be related to your client business related. After entering your keywords, you need to set the time when you want a report based on those keywords. This reports shows twits based on these keywords. So this is really a good way to find your targeted audiences.

    My simple explaination-Just follow some people and make friends. Most people will follow you back. Then you can communicate/post some links in your status. Your status updates will be shown in your followers homepage :)
