Things may be changing quite rapidly these days.

Marketing during pre-covid and post-covid world may be slightly different.

I see more people selling things online and there are some who even made zoom webinars to sell stuff. More people are joining amazon affiliate programs too.

We are talking about reading all the books that are available in actualized.org booklist , is enough reading it to really learn about marketing

It's good for a foundation, but once you get into marketing and niche areas within that, your experience is more valuable than the books because you know first hand what will work. It's not like you can just read the books and automatically that means you can be successful at it, if that was the case it would be pretty easy

Is it enough to learn weightlifitng by just reading all the textbooks on how to lift weight? 

Theory provides the foundations. 

Action gives you the results. 

So, of course read the books, but don't think you'll become an expert without actually putting in the work

As you can see from Leo's videos, Leo always share openly a lot of what he knows plus he is very comprehensive.

If he did a topic (say Wisdom) on a video, he never repeat the same topic  in another video because he has already said most of the essential points and he doesn't do repeat videos. 

So for his list, I think it will be similar. The marketing books will be comprehensive enough to cover at least 90% of the theories. It is impossible to reach 100% of all marketing materials anyway.

It's not enough. I think finding a consultant would make your life a lot easier.

@John Iverson No chance. Consept said it: you will need to study more to become effective in your niche. I don't know what exact number of books will be enough, but you will discover it once it becomes obvious that spending your time reading them is producing diminishing returns for your business. When that happens, you will not only have studied enough, but more than enough, which is a good place to be.
