Follower count is a starting point, not the answer.
Organic Page reach is a single-digit fraction of followers, so a Page's worth turns on engaged reach, niche, and how it monetizes — not raw follower count.
A monetized Page earns through in-stream and Reels ad payouts — modest and reach-gated — plus brand sponsorships, which pay far more per impression. The mix shifts heavily by niche.
Sponsored deals price on actual reach and engagement, not follower-count vanity. An honest model accepts engagement rate as an input rather than inferring it.
