	I think we should consider rewording or removing the first sentence of the last paragraph. It might be true sometimes, but the way it's phrased implies that the best-marketed books are ''always'' most popular, which isn't true. Also, it might not be necessary to include a generalization at all, since the title-text is about marketing specifically.[[User:DownGoer\|DownGoer]] ([[User talk:DownGoer\|talk]]) 05:38, 26 June 2023 (UTC)		I think we should consider rewording or removing the first sentence of the last paragraph.

		+	It may be worth noting that this Comic appears to use the term "marketing" in its colloquial meaning, in which it is essentially synonymous with "promotion" or "advertising". In business jargon, that's just one aspect of marketing. Simply having successfully advertised himself as being the best does not proof marketing skills. Marketing also involves understanding customer needs, conducting market research, developing a product or service that meets those needs, setting appropriate pricing, choosing effective distribution channels, and building long-term customer relationships. It's not just making noise and drawing attention.--[[Special:Contributions/176.199.209.149\|176.199.209.149]] 09:18, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

 The most popular book can imply the best marketing, but doesn't ever imply the best content or the best source of information about a topic. However, if the topic is marketing, the at least the reader can look at the marketing strategy for selling the marketing book, which would make the book's author the best source.

 :Well the popularity of the book tells more about the publishers marketing strategy than the authors, doesn't it? Or would a author who is good at marketing automatically select the publisher with the best marketing? Not nexessarily, it depends on his goals. If the authors goal is making money, he might go with the publisher that he gets the most out of, which isn't necessarily the one that markets his book the best way. --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 10:54, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
