January 14, 2026

A man in Texas is proving how one simple social media post can completely change someone’s life.

David Dominguez travels to farmers markets across Texas looking for something most people overlook: vendors sitting alone with no customers. When he finds one, he stops by, starts a conversation, and shares their story in a short video.

He posts them under a simple but powerful theme: “Only buying from vendors with NO customers at the farmers market.”

For Dawna Thompson and her small business, Dawna’s Jerky, it was life-changing.

After Dominguez featured her booth at a farmers market in Rosenberg, Texas, Dawna and her husband woke up to their phones exploding with notifications.

“We hear our phone just like ding, ding, ding, ding, ding,” Dawna told Click2Houston. “It was crazy.”

At first, they feared the worst — maybe their website had been hacked. But the alerts were very real: they were orders pouring in from customers all across the country who had seen Dominguez’s video.

“We still have like 2,200 orders,” Dawna said. “Every time we ship, we just keep getting more in.”

Dominguez started making these videos in 2025 after being laid off from his job. With extra time on his hands, he decided to do something positive.

“My family likes to go to a lot of markets,” he said. “When I started seeing I could help businesses, I thought maybe I could make some content and help them that way.”

Dominguez now travels to markets all over Texas — from Austin to Dallas to San Antonio and El Paso — using his platform to give small vendors the visibility they deserve.

“They catch my attention,” he said, “and I try to help them out as much as I can.”
