Many artificial trees are now made with lights built in, but if you have one that you need to string lights on yourself, do it by section. That way you'll be able to take the tree apart and store the tree in sections with the lights on, and you won't have to take them off and restring them next year.
One way to make your stringing project easier is to get an extension cord that is made especially for tree trimming. These have several outlets along the string at intervals, and the cord can be fastened to the center of the tree along the trunk.
Be sure to read manufacturer's instructions regarding limits on the number of strings you can connect together. LED lights are more energy saving, so usually more strings of them can be connected together.
When you are approaching the end of the project, stand back from the tree with the lights lit, and squint your eyes until most of what you see are just the points of light. That way you can see areas that might need adjusting for more or fewer lights.
