Certainly well-known poker players are happy to take advantage of any chance to make money with less risk. Therefore you'll rarely see them turn down opportunities to do an endorsement, be on TV, write articles, and so on. The ones who get that opportunity are not always the best. It is also clear that the chance to do this is a significant motivation to participate in tournaments.
However most pros make significant money day in and day out playing cash games. In fact most live on that. And I guarantee that you aren't going to make money on cash games with just a little bit of initial luck. I also guarantee that if you lack skill and play those cash games, you'll get wiped out.
And the pros who make a living online? I guarantee they have skill! The level of competition in high stake online games is much, much higher than in casinos.
