To be honest, article marketing is dying. It's not nearly as effective as it once was. Sure it's OK to submit articles from time to time but I wouldn't let that take up much of your time and definitely wouldn't let it be your #1 marketing tactic. Think about the time it's taking you to re-write all your articles and see if the traffic results you are getting are worth it. If they are, then great... but my gut feeling is that the reward doesn't match the effort.

In the past year or so I've replaced article marketing with learning how to work the social networking sites more. Finding other sites (or blogs) in your niche, networking, writing guest articles for other webmasters is the way to go. Article marketing is quickly becoming a thing of the past.

It's OK to still submit articles from time to time but I'm not sure you want to re-write every newsletter article. What I would do is take the articles you feel are most important and re-work them but I'm not sure it's worth sitting down re-wording every article you write.
