Whois

You can simply wait and hope someone will email you to purchase your domain. However more and more, domain contacts are not listed in WHOIS lookups, so there may be people trying to purchase your domain who cannot contact you.

Domain Marketplaces

There are many domain marketplaces available, which both list your domain, and provide you with a parking page letting the public know your domain is for sale.
