“We went from musicians just wanting to promote music to having to adapt and learning about: web design, web maintenance, content creation, article promotion, social networking, accounting, planning and budgeting, defining music business plans and revising, and the list goes on.”

That quote pretty much sums up the job description of a DIY artist. Excellent observation. I'll even add tracking, mixing, and mastering for those of us who don't have the budget to hit up a professional studio, and have to resort to our friends' basements.
