It's all going to depend on how many followers you have, and of them how many are actual people. A lot of bots out there. It can't hurt to give it a shot, though.

Of all the social media, I find Twitter the most useful. Yes, you can use it to get the word out about a free promotion.GregGregPippin said:
You can ask if some of your followers will help you, as a favour, by tweeting about the promotion, or by retweeting your tweets. Do the same for them one day.
However, be aware that most promotional tweets get ignored. There's a lot of promotional noise on Twitter, like anywhere else in the social media, and people tune it out. Posting tweets and getting retweets doesn't really help unless people read them.
Twitter works best if your followers are actively reading your tweets. For this, you need to first build a quality platform, posting interesting stuff to get your followers hooked. Once they enjoy your tweets, they'll be eager to read more by you, and then they'll jump at the chance of a free book.
I hope this helps.
Thanks all for your sharing. So basically it all depends on my existing crowd, which happens to be none. 
Haha!

By the way, your cat is hired!
I met Rayne after purchasing some of her books and then began following her on Twitter. 99% of my followers are authors that post great links to blogs etc which is very useful, also I never spam anyone, rather I congratulate them on book covers etc and I have found even people I've only just followed retweet my posts because I tend not to abuse their time.
It can be a great tool.

I've compiled a list of writers on Twitter who are committed to following back other writers. If you need followers, you may want to start by following these, and they'll probably follow you back as long as your profile text says that you're a writer.geronl said:

Oh, and you may want to follow me, too: @raynehall. Send me a tweet to say that you're a member of this board, and I'll follow you back.
