Speaking with Business Insider, TikToker Jakey Boehm revealed that he earns up to and sometimes over $34,000 for his antics. Dubbing himself a “sleepfluencer”, Boehm said: “It’s seriously life-changing money. The first week I made about $5,000 dollars.
“That’s where I thought ‘This is big, I can do something really crazy here.'”
To carry out his bizarre streams, Boehm has crafted a custom script that analyzes specific phrases or prompts within his live chat. Once the correct prompt has been discovered by his script, a new distraction can be deployed within Boehm’s room.
The TikToker works 49-hour weeks, often going live from 11 PM to 6 PM GMT+10. Notably, the content creator has managed to turn TikTok’s gift function into a clever way of introducing new elements to his streams.
TikTok users who gift Boehm virtual items such as a cap will trigger an FBI-style raid noise within Boehm’s room.
As of June 6, 2022, Boehm has managed to forge his way into the top 30 most viewed streamers in Australia.
