I am sure that Twitter (used well) can create a crowd. It isn't clear that it can create income.
Not all things in marketing about about monetisation, and in fact, I think that mindset can actually be injurious. But if you can create a solid call to action based around a limited freebie, you increase your opportunity to sell quite well.

As I said, musicians I follow have done really well with it - "Meet me at [show location] location at [y] time; 5 participants get free tickets to the show - everyone else, come on in!" sort of things to great effect.
