The hats an Indie Author wears
Sign up!
This is about all the hats an Indie Author has to wear when self-publishing. I would like to note that it's very important to have the emo bunnies do these positions, because trying to do them by oneself could lead to insanity.
Writer This is your job. Don't worry about any of the rest. Let the emo bunnies take care of it.

Emo Bunny in charge This is the bunny that makes certain all the other emo bunnies are doing their jobs; the CEmO, the Executive Director Bunny, the President Bunny. However, this emo bunny usually spends all his time on the golf course eating the grass, so he doesn't count.

Emo Bunny Marketer By far the busiest job. It's best to have numerous bunnies to work on this. They won't talk to each other much unless it's about how much they like rainy days. They post new releases to forums, Getfreeebooks.com, Ereader News Today, Breakthrough Bookstore, Goodreads, Book Junkies Library, etc . . . Due to so many bunnies working on this, things usually get missed.

Emo Bunny PR Agent Very similar to the marketer, but this one handles emails, facebook, twitter and everyday conversations on forums that aren't about the books. These bunnies should be cute because they're trying to get people to like the writer. Luckily, emo bunnies are even cuter than normal bunnies.
Emo Bunny Accountant This is a very boring job for most bunnies working for Indie Authors not named Amanda Hocking, making it the most sought after. Even though it deals with complicated numbers and even taxes, there's usually not enough revenue to stress over anything. Of course that never stops an emo bunny from stressing.
Emo Bunny Resources This is the equivalent of Human Resources. But since Indie Authors can't afford humans, we have to settle for emo bunnies. This office is responsible for keeping track of them. It's usually unstaffed due to lack of interest.
Conclusion It's a really bad idea for an author to try to take on all of these tasks alone. Publishing houses have large staffs of humans to do all of it. If you can't afford humans, get minions. My minions just happen to be emo bunnies. I advise against getting ducks because they're noisy, obnoxious and they nip. Posted by John H.
