Just to look at a business analysis of what $100 per article means:

1. 40 hours of your time is equivalent to $500 worth of work.

2. 40 hours of your time writing articles adds $500 of value to the company assuming you don't have any take home pay.

The end result is that the articles don't appear to be adding much value to your business and therefore writing them only pretends to be work. In my experience people do things that pretend to be work because the pretend work is easier than the hard work...like developing leads, qualifying prospects, closing sales and developing products people want.

On the other hand, if the articles are actually adding value for your customers, then raise prices to keep adding value via the articles. If you can't justify raising the price for something then it's not worth pursuing from a pure business standpoint.

Good luck.
