I Wish Someone Showed Me This Before My First Season

When I started installing Christmas lights, I wasted money, bought things I didn’t need, and learned a lot the hard way. I made this free series so you can understand the business first and avoid those same mistakes.

290+ Real Installations

Everything I teach comes from actually doing the work and installing for real customers.

Made for Beginners

You don’t need experience. I’ll show you what I wish I knew before my first season.

5 Short Lessons + Extras

No huge course to sit through. Just the stuff you need to know before getting started.

$0 to Begin

Watch the series before you spend money on lights, equipment, or training.

FREE DOESN’T ALWAYS MEAN HELPFUL

You Don’t Need Another Webinar Trying to Sell You a Mentorship

A lot of free guides, webinars, and “training calls” are really built to lead into a C9 starter kit, mentorship, or expensive AI built "system" that was never used by them. The problem is beginners can end up following advice that was never really designed to help them start lean in the first place.

01 - EXPENSIVE STARTER KITS

Buying Whatever Gets Promoted on social media

Starter kits, mentorships, and “must have” tools can get expensive fast. A lot of beginners are sold way more than they actually need.

02 - THE WRONG BUSINESS MODEL TO START

Copying a Business Model That Doesn’t Fit You

Hiring installers, buying hundreds of totes for storing client's lights and expensive starter kits (light suppliers) can work for new installers with a lot of money. That does not mean it is the best way to start.

03 - SALES DISGUISED CONTENT

Learning From Content Made to Sell You Something

A lot of videos are built around promoting certain lights, products, or mentorships. You need to separate useful information from the sales pitch.

BONUS Lessons

Why Starting can be Hard & My First Season at 17

I started this business with only a few hundred dollars while going to high school full time and working at Panera. I’ll break down why getting started feels harder than it actually is and what helped me get through that first season.

I STARTED WHERE YOU ARE

I Couldn’t Afford the Setup Everyone Told Me I Needed

When I started at 17, I was working at Panera, going to high school full time, and starting with only a few hundred dollars. I didn’t have the budget to buy everything other installers recommended or take on the added cost of storing lights.

I eventually realized that copying the same setup as established installers didn’t make sense for someone in my position. I found a more practical way to start with saving on cost of materials and homes that were easier to serve without overcomplicating the business. That first season brought in more than $20,000 and gave me the foundation I still build from today.

The Best Time To Start IS NOW

Every season starts sooner than you think. The installers who prepare early are the ones fully booked when demand explodes. By the first week of December, the season is already slowing down. Take action now so you're ready before demand peaks.

Healthy Profit Margins

Our profit margins for most jobs exceed 70%! Most installers make more in 6–8 weeks than other home service professionals do in months.

Demand Comes Every Year

Homeowners want their houses decorated, but most do not want to climb ladders, untangle lights, or spend weekends doing it themselves.

Low Start Up Cost

You do not need a storage, a crew, or thousands in inventory to understand to get started in this industry.

Low Competition

Starting early gives you time to learn, prepare, and get in front of customers before demand peaks.

Common questions about the Free Starter Series and how it works.

Is this really free?

Yes. The Free Starter Series costs nothing and requires no credit card. You get instant access to video lessons the moment you enroll.

Can you start a Christmas light installation business with no experience?

Yes. The Free Starter Series was created specifically for beginners. It explains how the industry works, what equipment you actually need, common mistakes to avoid, and whether starting a Christmas light business is the right fit for you. However, this free series will not teach you how to install (the technical skills).

Can I start a Christmas light business while working a full-time job?

Yes. Many installers, including me, built their business while working another job, building an evergreen business or attending school. The business is seasonal, making it a practical option for evenings and weekends.

You'll have a clear understanding of whether this business is right for you. If you want to go deeper, the paid Holiday Lights University training gives you everything you need to start.

What's the difference between the Free Starter Series and the complete training?
