I'd like to publish your stories on Amazon and Draft2Digital which distributes to: Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Indigo, Vivlio, Scibd, Kobo, Nook, Borrow Box, and more! I pay royalties via PayPal. With my name on your stories they're more likely to sell, because I have a small following of loyal fans who read mine and my authors' works. I also work with three different magazines (KidlioMag, Voraca, and De Mode) to feature my authors whenever possible, and I get reviews on Instagram all the time which brings traffic to my book pages.

Feel free to say no, but I thought I'd offer.

Same here Sha Ron...I have close to 100 short stories, a mix of contemporary and historical, all with a twist - have a strong loyal Facebook following on my story page, have won a couple of international competitions but have been putting off putting my stories together in book as I have been told many times that books of short stories are so hard to get published, that one has to be a known novelist first...so back to punting my novel

Go to your local library and check out The Artists and Writers Yearbook. For the UK it gives all the submission guidelines and info on who pays for what.

Check Publishers Weekly and Poets and Writers magazine.

Your library may subscribe online, in print, or both.

I know very few people who make enough money as a writer to support themselves by submissions— one reason I did not pursue that career.

If you need a job that supports your lifestyle and you live in an area with major corporations, consider applying for jobs in what might be called Corporate Communications.

Good luck.

Read those stories on a YouTube or social video platform. It would not be that hard to monetize if the stories are engaging. Find video sponsors and sell merch. No one is going to randomly give you money for your awesome ideas and most writers are utilizing online tools to earn the money themselves.
