What do they do to make money once they have their users on board?

They really do sell flow and use margin. There just isn't any way they're profitable doing just that.
They could be making a good chunk of money from stock lending, like zero cost index funds are doing.
Can an introducing broker participate in stock-lending programs?
They earn interest in the uninvested funds in user accounts.
They offer margin and after hours trading for a price.
