Twitter experiment

Lately I've been reading a lot of articles online about how to use Twitter to build your freelance business. I do a small amount of website work in Michigan, so I fancy myself a closet freelancer specializing in web design. I also think of myself as a web developer.

As I go along, I'll update this post with my progress. The goal is to pick up work through my Twitter account.

Here's the plan:

1. Find people on Twitter I think can help me or lead to leads.
2. Interact with other Twitteres, Tweeters, or whatever you call Twitter users.
3. Provide relevant contact.
4. Gather followers. I hope to have more followers than people I follow.
5. Watch for people looking for help, and offer my services.
6. See if anyone comes to me.

It's a loose plan, but I'm liking the results so far. So far, my following/followers ratio is better than 2:1. And I landed on someone's list already! Had some decent conversations, too.
