Ditch the Black

Do you need some extra money for the holidays? How would you like to make several thousands of dollars for a few weeks of work? This is all possible with a Holiday Lighting Business.  This industry is the perfect add-on for many seasonal businesses like, window cleaners, landscapers, painters, roofers, pool services, construction companies, fencing companies and florists. Plus, it's a lower risk starting this type of business venture because, you can utilize your current customer base from which to create sales and retain your employees during this season.

The key to making money with a Holiday Lighting Business is the fact that this is a tried and tested business plan. It is based on a proven business in an industry where supply has not been able to keep up with demand, and now everyone is being given the chance to follow suit and start their own holiday lighting business.

There are people that would love to have their Christmas lights up and running, but they are unable to do it themselves. There are also people that work and just don't want to go through all the hassle of putting up Christmas lights and so they are willing to pay someone else to do it for them.

In fact, all that's needed to set up a Christmas lighting business is determination and the course itself. Considering most people are rushed off their feet at Christmas, but still want their homes filled with cheer, the market for a service which decorates and lights up homes and businesses is huge.

Nobody wants to work 24/7 at any job, no matter how much you love it. Most good paying jobs require you to work 5 or 6 days a week, so we will use these numbers in our example.

Full-time solo Christmas light installers typically earn between $800 and $1500 a day. Sometimes they may earn as much as $2000 per day working by themselves. Simply by hiring a laborer to work with you can jump your daily income by 80% or more.

Now that we've got all of our criteria nailed down, let's see how it all breaks down in our 3 month time frame:

- Working 6 days a week for 3 months, means you would be working a total of 72 days per year. And with our required income of $50,000, that means that you would need to earn an average of $694.44 per day.

Looking at the above example, the goal of working only 3 months out of 12 is looking more tangible by the minute and considering that the average residential window cleaning job is around $1400, and the average 4-man work crew brings in $3,800 per day, earning $50,000 in three months could easily become a reality. You can start a holiday lighting business and make lots of money and it's all up to you.
