Ask Is there any point creating a portfolio on a freelance platform if you have no past work yet?

[Edward22]

A portfolio on a freelance platform is basically a collection of your previous work that you show to potential clients so they can judge your skill before hiring you. The question many beginners ask is whether it is worth setting one up when they have nothing to show yet. Some people create sample projects just to have something on their profile, while others leave it empty and hope their bio does the work. Clients do look at portfolios before making decisions, so having nothing there can reduce your chances. What did you do when you were just starting out and had no real work to display?
