I posted a giveaway on my photography facebook page now nobody wants to book and keeps asking about freebies?

First of all, you have to be careful about posting giveaways on Facebook. There are quite a few rules about that and you can't do several things, one of which is requiring people to become a fan in order to enter (just in case you went that route).

Also, it sounds like you are ill prepared to properly run a business if you are only bringing in two clients a month. Seems to me you have not done an adequate business plan which would have include your marketing strategy.

As for those expecting freebies, you can politely state that you are not currently running any specials for free or reduced sessions and leave it at that. There are too many people out there who expect and/or feel entitled to something free. Don't pander or cater to those people.

You also have to keep in mind that if Facebook is your sole place of getting business, you are not casting a wide enough net. Some will argue that Facebook is the worst thing out there and it's absolutely pointless. Speaking as a blogger who utilizes the site regularly among other social media outlets, the site can actually be quite beneficial when you learn how to use it properly.

Start doing your homework and get to work on a solid business plan. It'll help you in the long run.
