Before I ask my questions, please forgive me for my english, i know it isn't perfect but I'm woking on it.
So I have some decent beats (I haven't upload them here), and I'd like to sell them. But i have some questions about it.
What means exclusive or unexclusive rights?
If I sell my beat, should I send the project (flp.) or the MP3?
If I sell my rights, could the person who buys it tell the label that he made the beat?
If the person makes the song, and it will be well known, will the label sign me?
If I send the beat to a person, what makes me sure that i will be paid?
Please help me, and thx for the answers. 
- exclusive rights basically means that the buyer now owns the beat.... unexclusive rights (aka leasing) means you still own the beat and can still sell it to other people... it's more complicated than that, but you get the idea... (prices may vary, but for example i lease my beats for $20 and sell exclusive for $200)... exclusives cost more because once you sell a beat exclusively, you cannot make any more money from that beat.
- you should probably send the beat as a .wav file (or the .mp3, but wav is better quality)... i wouldn't reccomend sending the project file.
- the buyer must give you credit for the beat, they cannot claim that they made it... however, you should make this clear in some sort of contract
- send the beat AFTER you receive the money
