Kimathi Kamundeh, operating out of Nairobi, Kenya, appears to administer BusinessToolsProfits, an online opportunity. The company's website, businesstoolsprofits.com, registered on August 27, 2012, conceals its domain registration details.
BusinessToolsProfits presents "facts" about network marketing, claiming the average networker takes two to three months to learn a new program. They also state the average networker sponsors only three to four downlines in a lifetime. No statistical data or research supports these claims. The identified "pitfalls of MLM" focus on recruitment difficulties, not on actual product sales to customers. This suggests a primary focus on member acquisition for income generation.
The BusinessToolsProfits website provides no information on who owns or runs the business. The site shares a web server with mydailyfortunes.com, a defunct MLM opportunity launched around late 2010. The MyDailyFortunes domain registration lists Kimathi Kamundeh of Global Internet Fortunes. MyDailyFortunes.com now redirects to BusinessToolsProfits.com.
Kamundeh's Facebook profile identifies him as CEO and Founder of "Internet Marketing Africa." He uses the online name "Lloyd Kim" and openly promotes BusinessToolsProfits. He claims that earning money with the opportunity requires "no selling (of) products." Kamundeh previously maintained a blog at lloydkim.com under the "Lloyd Kim" name. This blog, now offline, marketed a series of short-lived recruitment scams, according to Google's cached history. No other MLM companies administered by Kamundeh are publicly known.
BusinessToolsProfits offers no retailable products or services. Affiliates market only membership to the company itself. Each membership includes lead capture page templates, an autoresponder, training videos, and access to an e-book library.
The BusinessToolsProfits compensation plan pays members $7 for each company membership sold. Residual commissions are distributed through a 3x7 matrix structure. This places an affiliate at the top of their own matrix.
