Can you really earn money from installing Christmas Lights?
Generally the lighting season begins in late October and usually commences the sales and decorating period and ends in the middle of January, when you have finished removing all your customers lights and decorations.
In the last 6 years the holiday and decorating industry has grown by 800%. According to sources from this industry, both residential and commercial homeowners as well high classed business owners spend well over $200 million every holiday season for the lighting and decorating of their business.
Since the holiday lighting and decorating industry is a newly developed one, it will be a perfect additional service to your existing business or it could be a great business all by itself in which you can earn money in about 3 months to last you for the remaining of the year.
You can also use this industry for an additional service to other seasonal businesses such as landscaping, pool services, construction companies etc.
Also the risk of starting this business is very low because you can use your customer's base to create sales and keep your employees during this season.
It earns you big bucks since the average Light Installation company earns well over $1000 per day per work members for the 6-8 week season. Also installers who do large residential and commercial jobs can earn about $3000 per day.
A medium size Christmas Light Installation company earns between low to mid 6 figures. "The Perfect Light" is one company that creates over $1 million in sales in less than 3 months.
Therefore this industry can earn you lots and lots of money in little time.
The average small Christmas Light Installation business can easily earn over $20,000 in their first season if they planned a solid business strategy.

Crazy Christmas Lighting [must watch]
Check out this video I found that is absolutely amazing.
Do you think the guy who did this gets a lot of requests at Christmastime to light people's houses?
Here's the back story:
This display was the work of Carson Williams, a Mason, Ohio, electrical engineer who spent about three hours sequencing the 88 Light-O-Rama channels that controlled the 16,000 Christmas lights in his annual holiday lighting spectacular (from Christmas 2004). His 2005 display includes over 25,000 lights that he spent nearly two months and $10,000 to hook up. So that the Williams' neighbors aren't disturbed by constant noise, viewers driving by the house are informed by signs to tune in to a signal broadcast over a low-power FM radio station to hear the musical accompaniment.
The rough quality of the video has led some viewers to believe it was put together in stop-action form from still photographs, but that is an artifact of the high compression used in the clip circulated via e-mail. Mr. Williams has posted instructions for recreating his "Wizard in Winter" sequencing, and another of his choreographed Christmas light music shows can be viewed here.
Carson's Christmas display proved so popular that it was featured in a Miller Lite beer commercial in December 2005.
While you may not be able to pull off something like this, you can get in on this hugely profitable seasonal business of installing Christmas lights. To find out more just visit Tanner Larsson's Cashing in on Christmas.
