That's the first issue. The second is to then find sources through Writer's Market, or a forum like Absolute Write or a genre-specific forum to see if anyone is publishing what you've written. Then you go to those publishers and figure out what their submission process is. There's quite a bit of research involved. And short stories get paid almost nothing. You might get a one-time fee, or paid in royalties determined by how many copies you sell. Some will even try to pay you in copies of the magazine (which you can then presumably tear up to feed your fire in winter because Gawd knows they're not worth much else.)
