Transcript

I was sad too Dalton. I was sad when I found out my fiance was cheating on me with the bartender a couple months ago. Now I'm sad today I realized I'm going to be raising three kids on my own. I'm sad today I lost my whole livelihood over lies from my baby dad and his new girlfriend. And I'm sad because my trucks broke and I can't afford to fix it. And I'm sad because I have three kids that need things and I don't get child support and I don't get welfare. Just trying to make an honest living. I'm sad because I've been posting every day for 30 days on social media to see if it can help me buy my kids a home. Now Dalton over here is making $76,000 in 28 days off a couple of videos. Now he's out here getting other small creators millions of views. So I figured I'd go ahead and apply for a job. I'm over here trying to turn this social media thing into a house on our farm. I'm looking for a job. Now Dalton, I don't need to make $76,000. I just need to make enough off social media that I can afford to put a used trailer on the farm for me and my kids. Here I am standing like Dalton. Being sad like Dalton. Ready to join that small creator workforce. Please like, comment, share, & TAG @ Dalton Aint Worried. Help a girl out Dalton.
