Write about something you care passionately about, an idea you've had, and something you know a lot about.
And never write with the purpose of making any money - because it's highly unlikely ever to be published or earn you a penny.
Write if you love to write and have a great story in mind - no other reason.

I want to read about Pliny the Elder reincarnated as a canary with superpowers. I want to read about this so much that I will buy 17 million copies of the first book that has this plot. You need only please me proving once again that getting one to five answers to a question on Yahoo is a sensible and profitable way to plan a career. Get cracking at this right now. I'm not doing squat for the second book about the Pliny canary.

This is a case of putting the cart before the horse. Write the book, then think about if it will make any money.

Write about why you think it's the ideas that make a book successful, and why I should give you my best ones instead of writing them myself.

Oh, no no no no no. You don't write a book for money. You write because you have a story to tell and the ability to tell it well. You have neither. Don't write. Go buy a lottery ticket.
