First, it is worth noting that you can get a summary of hottest categories selling on eBay. While this is somewhat useful in locating trends and broad areas of interest, there is a more useful way to use auction center to test your own ideas.

Start by searching eBay for your keyword term + ebook.

For example, if you are trying to test "dog training", then you would enter "dog training ebook" in your search.

You can make submissions on your own, or hire some help. Every story, on average, must be submitted to 100 markets before it is accepted. For short story authors, these numbers are sad, but true. Even best stories must cover a lot of territory before they appear on printed page. A reputable author’s submission service may offer you more time to write while they take care of submissions. Remember that a good submission service screens potential writers for quality work. They don’t take everyone.

Once your story has passed following tests, it’s time to send it out into world. 1. Is there an opening hook that grabs reader? Does it surprise/amuse/intrigue? Does it establish mood of story?

2. Are characters interesting to read about? Are their interactions with each other believable? Are they properly motivated? Do they each have flaws as well as virtues? (Or vice-versa in Horror stories.)

3. Does each character have his or her own voice? Is dialogue flowing and natural, not stilted? Does dialogue move story along?

4. Are secondary characters, if any, vivid without overwhelming main characters? Do they serve a useful purpose in plot? Do they add interesting elements to story?

5. Does narrative show action, not just tell about it? Do descriptive passages evoke vivid mental images? Is balance between narrative and dialogue appropriate for this work?

6. Is emotional situation and/or appropriate level of tension set up between characters? Is conflict clearly presented?
