Can I complete the project either way then ask If client wants to buy it?

I need to build a portfolio so my plan is:

  1. Ask the client to get in touch to communicate what needs to be built;
  2. The client doesn't need to make the deal with me - they can start working with another bidder. In that case I will still complete it for portfolio and possible feedback;
  3. Show them the video of product in work. If they like it and haven't started working with anyone else, they can buy the source code;

Is this a good idea? Will platforms like freelancer.com or upwork ban me?
