How do you build your tier 1

Hi,
Ｉam new for seo and want to use some tools for my tier 2 or tier 3,like GSA,AMR,SE.
how about the tier 1? i used AMR for ranking my niche site before,However, it is not work any more.
Do i need make tier 1 manually or outcourse it or make tier 1 by tools like senuke with spin artiles? any suggestion?
I really want to make the tier 1 by se or some tools, because English is not my first language and i dont have enough time to build links myself.
could you give me advices for my tier 1 in detail?
