Module 02 · revenueWhat's coming in
Five buckets: rental, client web work, Claude skills consulting, FreshBooks-routed invoices, and one-off / passive. Goal is to move dollars from "potential" to "received" each month.
Monthly income — current run-rate
| Source | What | Monthly | Status | Next move |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rentals — AustinSpring | Texas portfolio (see renters page) | tracked | RECURRING | Read tenants.html before any reminder |
| Cottage — Chris Johnson | $680/mo, started 2026-05-07 | $680 | RECURRING | Invoice 0001825 first ($680 + $340 half-mo) |
| DJ Weems | $300/mo conditional on tents work | $300 | CONDITIONAL | Confirm current month's work delivered |
| Bergeron Group | 3 sites — hub + 2 spokes | client | ACTIVE | Monthly maintenance — invoice if not on retainer |
| Claude skills consulting | Skills.html storefront — not yet launched | $0 | PRE-LAUNCH | Ship /skills/ page · 3 offers · this week |
| HECM (reverse mortgage) | Cash-out tap on Hot Springs home | passive | REVIEW | See compu-link compliance state |
| Other freelance | One-offs, referrals | variable | PIPELINE | Funnel via /skills/ + /contacts/ |
By bucket — annualized view
Real estate
AustinSpring portfolio plus the cottage. The most stable line — but most exposed to vacancies and repairs. Lever: fewer days vacant.
Web dev
WholeTech network has run since 1996. Active retainer: Bergeron Group. Lever: add 1-2 client retainers/year, or productize.
Skills
Mostly latent — Paul knows more about Claude Code in practice than 99% of consultants. Lever: launch a real offer this month.
Affiliate & ads
AdSense on tvreviewer/austinmayor, Amazon associates placeholders on hoopwomen + girlhoop /shop/.
Domain sales · gigs · referrals
115 domains, some valuable. Land assets at land.wholetech.com. One $5k domain sale is 6 months of cottage rent.
Goal vs reality
Goal: Positive cash flow by 2026-07-17 — combo of $800/mo cuts + lifting one income line by $500/mo.
Highest-ROI bet: Ship /skills/ this week. One $2k Claude audit = a quarter of the income goal in a single deliverable.
