I'm referring to those LinkedIn profiles with a (fake) connection of 10k+ and a headline of: 🏅Entrepenur, Author of <XXX>, Digital Marketer, 💰💲Cryptocurrency Partner, Sales Programmer, Innovative Salesman, Motivation Speaker, etc. How much do they make? There must be a reason why they keep popping up. How do they maintain their lifestyle? (Someone I know personally who I follow on IG always uploads a picture of a traveling for business/leisure every week). Makes me wonder if I should be one of those instead of working as a code monkey.
Grifters. Anyone who gives a speech at a tech conference that isn't about something they've worked on for hundreds of hours should be ignored and mocked.
They are normally "consultants" who have their own consulting business. Often people who punched out with their FU money and are just trying to stay somewhat relevant and occupied ...or they were laid off and don't have another job yet.
Never heard of them making anything
That's extremely vague just like asking how much an entrepreneur makes. Some make $5K per month, some $50K, $500K or even $5 Million per month. But a good rule of thumb is usually the more stuff they have in their bio the less they are probably making. But if they are constantly traveling they are making at least $10K from their own business. Certainly not easy though despite how many you may see "pop up" their are over 10 million people that are millionaires in the world, their is a lot more wealth available then many think but you have to work for it. I own a marketing firm and a tech development firm but I am quite lowkey about the things I do and I only have a short description which is founder of (my marketing firm) I don't even have founder of my tech development firm because we're currently working on projects that could be very valuable to potential competitors and I don't want that publicized in any way at the moment.

How many hours do you workout everyday?
It’s code word for unemployed. Any real entrepreneur has a title “(co)founder of X” where you can google said X and find an actual product.
