link building never been easy, even if its black hat. i am not looking to pay "few bucks" my budget is over $2K. not sure if there is really "masters" here but i am just asking.
Wow, over $2k! Yeah you'll definitely get some masters with that budget
It's not like an seo master could make $2k/mo themselves. Oh wait, they could work at mcdonalds and make $2k/mo.
A realistic budget for a top of the line seo expert would be $10k-$30k/mo
Another problem is anyone who's an SEO expert likely has the same monetization knowledge you do. This isn't like going to say a programming forum and getting some amazing programmer who will work for $5k/mo because he has absolutely no clue how to make money any other way than by using his programming knowledge.
An SEO you hire here will know what you know about your project and will just cut you out. The reason business owners can make so much more money than their skilled employees is because they hold unique cards. They have all the pieces and the employees just have 1. This isn't the case by hiring here.
The exception is if you have say, your own unique product, or some unique contacts, or some other difficult piece of the puzzle that an seo expert won't have access to, but if you're monetizing through any sort of network or publicly available product that the rest of us with IM knowledge will have access to, then this is the wrong approach.
IM isn't really about hiring seo experts to rank your site. You need to get good at seo yourself, then an option would be to put together your own ranking method, tools and/or pbn and hire + train some staff to seo, but an outright seo expert from bhw is also an IM expert on at least the same, but probably a higher level than you.
It's like saying "I want to hire a top business person to run my business for you. I'll offer you $2k/mo"
