Absolutely. I have gained work through Twitter. Like I mentioned in reply to Bryan above, the key is getting yourself out there and interacting with your market. Forums worked well for me when I was getting started and Twitter didn’t exist at the time so it wasn’t part of my personal story, but I do agree it can be a great place to interact.

You have to try different avenues and see which work best for you.

Thanks Bryan. I think the most important thing is to get yourself out there and begin to engage with your market. Forums have worked very well for me, but Twitter is certainly another place you can interact with potential clients and friends.

Also, never underestimate Twitter as a place to land clients. You get to engage with potemtial clients on a more sociable level where conversation can flow and deals can be made after they have got to know you.

Great post for people trying to get into the art. I have tried some of those same methods, and a few others you didnt mention here.

I found social networking sites like Twitter to be helpful. I have created a network of people and they know that I have a certain skillset and will come to me when in need.
