    The first question is a really bad one to be asking for general advice about. What kind of blogs will you be setting up, and what topic(s) will each blog be focusing on? As for the second question, you'd be better off hiring a Web copywriter than an SEO.

    In fact you don't need seo at all :)

    You need GOOD CONTENT, thats the key to any business.

    Make every web page like a card you would hand to your grandmother for her birthday and you will never need any seo.

    People will link and buzz about you all day long

    Hope this helps

    Because professionald Web copywriters are skilled and highly proficient in writing Web copy that is not only optimized for search engines but will also tug at the readers' emotions (and credit cards). They know how to draw a reader in, to make him or her feel like they are part of the discussion rather than reading a dry white paper. They also know how to make readers do what you want them to do - which in this case is get them to link back to your site.

    Now bear in mind for your sites I wouldn't hire a copywriter to write for you, but instead look into hiring one as a consultant or even an editor.

    Unless you are going for professional business online, otherwise try to get Paid SEO service out of your head.
    It ain't cheap to get SEO consultant, being the fact that i am one of them myself. Copywriters are smart people who write towards their audiences' wallets.

    Get good promotional strategies... Submit your blog to directories, your posts to social bookmarking sites, RSS submission would be great too... "Good Content" I guess relates to the quality of your content. Whether it is resourceful, helpful and has unique content. Just my 2 cents...

    The links back from those "services" will tend to be of such a low quality you might as well be giving your money to a one legged man in a (posterior) kicking contest and then tell him to beat the snot out of the guy who's going to beat him to a bloody pulp anyway. At least then he'll be able to help pay his medical bills.
