Do not fake your portfolio

[freelancermaria]

I have encountered online discussions about people sharing their unsuccessful experiences with online freelancing. According to their accounts, one of the main reasons for their lack of success is presenting fake portfolios to potential clients. It is essential to note that most clients can quickly determine whether a freelancer's portfolio accurately reflects their skills and experience. Please maintain honesty and integrity when showcasing your portfolio. Regularly updating and improving your skill set is vital to secure and excel in online jobs. Falsely representing your skills impedes your progress and breaches the trust of clients who count on your expertise. Ultimately, it is unfair to both yourself and the clients who have placed their trust in you.

If you fake, you will be able to cheat the client once but you cannot cheat again and again. You need to offer genuine information to get jobs

I seldom work for freelancing sites. But I never fake my portfolio to cheat clients. They will find out sooner or later.

How could you do the job without skills? If you lie, then if somebody does order, you still need to do the job to get paid.
