   I read the article and I still don't understand how social media users make money.

      > earnings per sponsored post,
      
      It looks like "if $SPONSOR pays you to post, then you get $PAYMENT" for each one. Or for each click on a sponsored post.
      
      So it sounds like talk radio, where the announcer always yells you that they use $SPONSORED_PRODUCT and it does wonderful things for them.
      
      Still, $780K to $2.4M per post presumes the person's followers are very gullible. Are they going to buy $SPONSORED_PRODUCT in droves because $ONLINE_CELEBRITY posted about it?
      
      I won't be surprised when such pay scales collapse to $5 or less per post, because there is no way a single post is swinging that many people into buying.
