MMS VEGAS · THE OPERATOR'S LIBRARY

Marketing that has to prove it worked.

Books, guides, and tools for operators who run their own marketing — direct-response discipline plus modern AI, without the agency retainer.

FREE FIELD GUIDE

Before you buy another marketing tool, read this.

The 5 Marketing Mistakes — a 20-minute field guide to the errors that cost more than the software.

THE BOOKS

The operating manuals.

Each one is the reference for a job you’re doing alone — meant to stay open next to the work, not read once and shelved.

BOOK · MARKETING

Build a Complete Marketing Department

Run the work of a full marketing department as a one-person operation — classic direct response plus a three-tool AI stack.

BOOK · FUNNELKIT

The Missing Manual for FunnelKit

The production-grade reference for FunnelKit funnels, checkouts, and automations on WooCommerce.

BOOK · MAKE

The Missing Manual for Make

The reference Make.com builders keep beside the editor — verified against the live platform, kept current after launch.

The tools have never been cheaper, or more powerful. The thinking behind them has never mattered more.
THE OPERATOR

Written by someone who has to live with the results.

MMS Vegas is Brian Kasday — a direct-response marketer who spent decades waiting on developers, designers, and copywriters, then rebuilt the work himself. The books and the guides are the working record.

FROM THE LIBRARY

The working notes.

Every guide in the Library answers a question an operator actually hit — an automation that won’t fire, an import that broke, copy that sounds like a robot wrote it. They’re free, they don’t ask for your email, and they’re kept current. The newest six are below; the full shelf is sorted by tool.

· Updated July 2026
A Make rate limit error means requests are outpacing the API’s limit. What triggers a 429, how Make retries it, and how to stop repeats.
· Updated July 2026
Make stores failed runs as incomplete executions. Which errors it retries on its own, how to fix the rest, and why the tab is sometimes empty.
· Updated July 2026
Why AI copy sounds like AI — and the five-element prompt, iteration protocol, and voice training that make its drafts worth your judgment.
· Updated July 2026
A launch is two jobs, not one. The pre-launch ritual, a soft launch to 50–100 people, four numbers to watch, and selling to warm — not cold.
· Updated July 2026
A blueprint carries the logic but not the credentials. Why every connection needs rebinding after import, and the other causes worth checking.
· Updated July 2026
Commas where Make wants semicolons, display labels inside map(), 1-based indexes — the six formula-breakers and how to spot yours in seconds.
THE BUILDER'S BRIEF

The books are finished. The building isn’t.

The Builder’s Brief is the working notebook behind the books — one brief a month on what broke, what shipped, and what it cost, for operators building with automation and AI. $79 a year.
