Single-level Direct Sales: This type of sales is done one-on-one, such as through door-to-door or in-person presentations. Sales can be done online or through catalogs, as well. Generally, income is earned on sales commissions, with possible bonuses.

Host or Party-Plan Sales: This type of sales is done in a group setting, usually involving the distributor or rep doing a presentation in their home or another person's home. In some cases, a company might sell to individuals in a business. For example, a real estate software sales rep might do a group sales presentation to a group of Realtors (R). Income can come from commissions from sales, and sometimes through the recruitment of other reps (see multi-level marketing below).

Multi-level Marketing (MLM): Sales in multi-level marketing are made in a variety of ways, including single or party presentations, but also through online stores and catalogs. Income earned through MLM is commission on sales, and the sales made by other business partners the distributor recruits into the company.
