It was your own fault for not discussing rates and fees before you provided your services, you can't be mad at him when you did it for free. You should *politely* tell him that you can't work for free anymore. And don't use "anti-advertising", don't be unprofessional.

It's only going to look bad on you to other possible employers/clients if they know that you react negatively to situations like that. You never should have agreed to work for free in the first place and keep in mind you agreed to work for free to begin with. I understand you're upset but you just need to go to your boss one last time and let them know you would like to be a paid employee now and if they won't agree, move on. Maybe they'll realize you're valuable and fork over some money but if they don't you have to look for other work.

Any time you do that, you agree up front on the time period for the try-out. If you didn't, it's your own fault.

If you don't want to work for free, tell him you need to start getting paid SOMETHING.
If he doesn't want to pay, don't work there anymore. You agreed to work for free initially so you can't be upset NOW that you're not getting any money.
I do understand your frustration, and sympathize with you, but you're wrong.
