Let me suggest that you read the Twitter Best Practices Page on Twitter.
This page has great insights on the following topics:

It is a good reference page for marketers who need a friendly reminder from time to time to use as a checklist to insure Twitter is being used to its full potential.
I would add:
- Use Hashtags

You will undoubtedly hear about programs that will gain you new followers in a few days, I would run from them. I have tried them and these programs bring the wrong kind of connections. If you go back to the basics and try a few programs out there that are proven, you will see success, just be patient and diligent in your pursuit of success on Twitter.
