Advertise, Advertise, Advertise. Almost like you're doing here. Heck stand out in the middle of the street with flyers and offer everyone chocolate cupcakes.

The best way to get followers is post interesting blogs on subjects that a wide variety of people are interested in and to use original material and then find some way of advertising. Facebook and other social networking sites are good places to get followers but you have to stand out out from the crowd and convince people your blog is creative and original as well as interesting.
You need to be creative, original above all else and to be honest, if you can't even think of ideas on your own on how to get more followers then your blogs are unlikely going to be worth following in any case. Twitter is VERY competitive

post tweets regularly in a certain niche, create a blog of your own and build an audience, promote your twitter account from there.
