Would it be best to first list the article to submit on your website before submitting, or should articles submitted to article services not also be on your website? Appreciate the help!
I would recommend submitting them on your site first and then once indexed on your site submit them to article directories. This way you can use them twice. If you put them in a article directory and then on your site, your site may be punished for duplicate content
using one article on one web site is better . google is very clever. you can be filtered because of dublicate content
It's always safest not to submit any of the articles on your site to any article directories. You should rewrite them first. If the article is indexed on your site before you submit it anywhere else, Google should see it as the first instance and duplicate content issues shouldn't affect you, but it may not always work that way. Some of the article sites are "trusted" pretty well by Google and if the article shows up there it could cause duplicate content issues with the one on your site.
Well the safest way is publish the articles in your website. After 1 week submit a modified version of it to article directories
