You should be paid what someone is willing to be paid.
Of course, if you're that good why not just partner with an insurance agent and do a commission split?
It doesn't take a lot of money to get great SEO work. The sooner agents learn that, the sooner they won't pay someone like you (who may be GREAT) a ton of money when they can get the same GREAT work at a much lower price.
Also, I tend to believe anyone calling themselves an SEO EXPERT or an expert in anything is to be avoided.

I normally don't refer to myself as an expert but I wanted to get a discussion going. I use to do consulting but I now work in house for a large e-commerce site. I am developing a Michigan insurance site as we speak...that;s why I have such an interest in this forum....plus I dont mind help anyone out.

This is exactly what I am doing : P
If your site got 1,000 unique visitors a day and you converted 5% of those into leads...you tell me

I'd rather not, my michigan insurance site is no where near complete but I will keep you guys updated ...again I want to stress I am not soliciting any seo services or anything. I am new to driving insurance traffic and I wanted to chat with other professionals in this area

An expensive SEO campaign can also just be a great way to lose money. For around $300 one time I helped an agent (with an admittedly somewhat established site) go from page 8-10 on google (position 78-98ish) spike to page one on google along with page two for most terms and that took less than two months. Ongoing SEO is important, but I don't see why any indy agent should be paying more than $300/month. Admittedly I'm fairly new at this, but I think results speak volumes more than claiming to be an expert. I learned most of what I know from another "amateur", but overall this really doesn't seem to be horribly complicated.
To answer your question though, if you want to make more money, you should take it a step further and use your SEO skills to actually sell. I disagree with your premise that you would "make me rich", but even if I did, the difference is that I have a license and have to actually convert the leads into sales which is much more difficult than SEO.
