publish some examples of my work in my portfolio

[7ce6417e]

given that I am new to Upwork, to try to convince clients sometimes I have to do the proposed work and send the client a short video so that he is convinced even if he does not hire me, my question is that I can publish these few examples of my work in my portfolio to enrich it even if I have not been hired, thank you

Don't do free work (albeit "only" samples).
It only harms you.

You should report clients who ask for a "free samples/tests".

Yes, you can use in your Portfolio any work you have done which is not payed for. It belongs to you (if you weren't payed).
