What to do when you hate linkbuilding?

Hi, I'm in SEO since 2018. I've started as an SEO copywriter. After a year of writing texts I decided to study this staff so that I could offer SEO services in full complex. In 2019 I started to work full time as an SEO manager in a jewelry brand. I've achieved some nice results and after a year and half became Head of content-marketing department. I have in this company a nice salary (for residents of Ukraine, this is considered good money), but I'm still working extra 10 hours per week on UpWork. Usually on Upwork I was working on short term projects (provide keyword research, fix some technical errors or competitor audit). Now I want to leave my job and work as a freelancer. I really like working in SEO, but linkbuilding for me is a pain in the ass. The reason why I hate it: 1. You need a budget from your client to buy sometimes links. 2. I cannot calculate how many links I can get in a certain period. I can say that I need 5 hours for a competitor audit, 4-5 hours to finish keyword research, but I'm not able to say that I can provide in 10 hours 20 links with an avarage DA 50+.
P.S. 90% of my projects are hourly contracts

So I thought it over and decided to find a partner partner who can do the linkbuilding part. Is this a normal practise? And how do you deal with this situation (If you also don't like doing it).

Sorry, if the post is too big. This question has been troubling me for a long time and therefore I decided to share it with those who are working in this field.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
