Some of us think it's a big mistake to portfolio build for free too.

There are circumstances where shooting for free can pay off, but it takes good business sense to know which circumstances they are.

Actually for a portfolio might be a bad idea as well.

Do it for free, if your just doing it to build your skill set, would have been a better way to put it.

Keith has stated this properly. Most times doing something for free is not good business sense, although there may be a time where it could jump start a business...knowing the difference is key.
