Check Out Michael Childers’ Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Michael Childers

Hi Michael, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Lunch Money Club has had a long ideation and creation phase, and truly a dream come to life. We began this project in 2018 trying to find a win-win situation that helped everyone. It’s no get-rich-quick plan, it’s about people working together to enjoy life and hopefully make things more affordable.

After seeing people and businesses struggle during the lockdown in 2020, we moved back to San Diego from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and refined the program into an affiliate driven dynamic database. By expanding the reach of local businesses to our growing member base, Lunchmoneyclub.com rewards our Business Partners with referral bonuses when new members join our discount revolution.

Now we’re ready to really take off! Our members enjoy discounts with their monthly subscription, and we allow businesses to join the Lunch Money Club database for free. In exchange, businesses agree to extend any current special offer or other discounts to our members. It’s a win-win – businesses grow and people can enjoy their favorite things at a discount.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
If there was a bump, we hit it!
Once we realized what we wanted to create, we charged in with a ton of enthusiasm and naivete. From the development of our referral database, to finding financial pay-in and pay-out companies, our limited marketing budget, and slow growth with only word of mouth exposure, we’ve struggled, but it has given us valuable time and more expertise with our product, understanding our Member base, and seeking out more unique Business Partners. The learning curve has been steep, but we’re ready for growth.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a realtor with 28 years of sales experience and my wife, Jessica, is a former animal trainer, now digital content creator. Lunch Money Club is a personal dream made into reality. Throughout my years of sales, I’ve watched people continue to buy, even when making ends meet was a struggle. With my wife, I watched dedicated animal care givers scrimp and stretch to afford basic living expenses. That was just on my doorstep. As I’ve aged, I see a world around me where people are struggling, have no savings – even for emergencies – but continue to live outside their means. I believe with my whole heart that Lunch Money Club is a stepping stone to bridge that gap.

We have created a business designed to help everyone involved. We help our members save on the things they’re already purchasing. We help Businesses expand their marketing reach. We help our Ambassadors and Affiliates with a way to earn commissions and referral bonuses while helping members save and watch their favorite businesses grow.

Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
We are foodies and love San Diego and it’s many restaurants. Like any big city, traffic is a bear, but the weather and laid back lifestyle make that tolerable. After living in Mexico for 8 years, our return to San Diego made us realize we’re blessed to have great friends, a supportive community, and so many opportunities here!

Pricing:

  • Businesses can join our network for free.
  • We offer our business partners the ability to purchase unique digital marketing packages.
  • LUNCHMONEYCLUB.COM has a $37 month to month easy to opt in or our subscription.
