Methodology
Cost per post amount was calculated based on follow numbers using data from social media platforms Hopper HQ and Klear’s report on influencer marketing rate cards. The annual salary of each account was calculated using this per post figure, multiplied by the number of sponsored posts each account has shared over the past 12 months.
