Why not make a search on theadminzone dot com. This is the board specially created for forum admins.

Paid posting is a good option if you can afford it. But make sure, you don't hire someone who just posts low quality posts just to get the job done and get money off you. Hire someone for a long term who can contribute regular quality post to some of your forum sections. It shouldn't be about the quantity, it should be about the quality.

Firstly I suggest you to hire someone to have paid posting, and then submit to few high quality of directory. It's a good start.
