Link building - I hate it. I'm an on-page, tech SEO person so I always outsource my link building. But, now with the recent changes going on with Google, I'm thinking I need to step up my link building game. I'd love to hear your thoughts on link building. Do you outsource or do it yourself and why?

Link building is much like content or on-page. If you aren't providing value it isn't going to help much.
Real valuable links are harder to obtain. We focus on helping others and then building up a network of website owners/SEO agencies and then basically helping each other. This method makes it very hard for a competitor to easily accomplish what we have built.
Easy links are a dime a dozen, anyone can visit website X and buy that link, these links are becoming less relevant. Just like most content writers hit this keyword phrase X amount of times in the article. But most SEO's skim through it because it's so boring that they don't even want to check it.
I believe the biggest issue with link building and SEO, in general, is most of the time people get caught up forgetting who the page really serves and it isn't Google. Also, a lot of people tend to just want it done and check off that complete box and tend to also forget that it's about rankings and not tasks.

i think you should do link building by yourself. Outsource link building task is costly and could out your online reputation at the sake. If you really want to outsource the link building task, then you should look each link with the critical eyeball.

Outsourcing link building can be a viable option if you prefer to focus on your core skills, such as on-page optimization and technical SEO. Hiring professionals or agencies experienced in link building can save you time and effort, as they typically have established networks and strategies to acquire high-quality backlinks. I do it with linkbuilder.

Just like my story. I also do not like to do much of link building. I focus on content mainly and try to make it rank. Although I do build basic links and all that helps. And recently I realized that you need to have some good link profile that builds your platform to rank your pages. But keywords, content and optimization builds your base. Without these 3 you cannot achieve much from link building. These 3 provide the direction in which you want to go while links provide the necessary push. You can always start building some basic links and if you feel that you reached your limit and it is not doing enough for your website then go for outsourcing.

I totally get where you're coming from! I used to outsource too, but Google's updates have me rethinking. Now I'm diving into DIY link building. It's about control and quality for me. Plus, it's a learning curve that's paying off in understanding my site better. What about you?

DIY backlinks are the best approach.  However, we do outsource "No Follow" and foundational links.
