Sounds good to me, also I would include if he is AKC registered or not. Also, you could put postings in various vet. clinics etc.
The first thing you must do is finish your dog's AKC championship in the conformation ring. All responsible breeders will require that before considering using your yorkie as stud. The show ring is the proving ground for breeding quality, so a dog that is not of a quality to finish, is not of a quality to be bred. After your dog has finished, you will be approached by breeders who have admired him in the ring and studied his pedigree, and determined that mating him with their female will produce offspring which constiute a viable contribution to the breed. There will never be any need to advertise.
Is he a Champion? Does he come from Champion Lines? Has he has his health certifications (OFA and CERF)? Does he conform to breed standards? Are his traits (Appearance and temperament) worth passing on genetically?
If not, no "Real" breeder will be willing to use him as a stud. Real breeders are very selective when it comes to studs; the LAST place they will look is online - They work in very tight networks.
The best you can hope for is a Backyard Breeder that doesn't care about any of that.
Is he registered with a kennel club? If so, you're more likely to get responses to your ''stud service'' ads. Also, another thing people look for, is if your dog is up to date on vaccinations, and has been checked over for all the health conditions known to the breed (No one wants to risk bad genes being given to the pups!)
Some Yorkies are prone to bronchitis and early tooth decay, poor tolerance of anaesthetic, and delicate digestion. They sometimes suffer paralysis in the hindquarters caused by herniated disks and other problems of the spine.
Also, personality test would be great. To prove that your dog is quality in not only breed, but in personality, as well. No one wants aggressive traits being bred into their pups, either.

I stud out my St.Bernard male and I always give a detailed intellegent sounding description of my dog, including his weight, height, his medical releases (For his hips %26 such), his temperment, and things like that. I also include that he IS AKC registered with a full pedegree.
Another important thing you need to have is a typed up contract stating things like both the male and females full names, date of birth, and the dates of breeding. State on the contract about the transportation of the dogs, the stud fee, where the breeding will take place, and how long they will be together. Make sure you and the persons dog you're breeding with signs and dates the contract, and it may not be a bad idea to have someone noterize it.
One more thing, even though you are not going to be dealing with the pups, make sure you do plenty of research on this matter, that way if an issue comes up, you will know how to handle it.
Good Luck!
I think AKC or CKC registration would be a definite plus...also talk to your vet about testing for genetic issues. If your Yorkie tests clean for genetic disorders, I think your ads will get a lot more "nibbles".

Cardiomyopathy (heart problems)
Luxating Patellas (slipping kneecaps)
Hypothyroidism (thyroid gland that doesn't work)
Well, the first thing you need to do is understand that by studding your dog, YOU are contributing to the pet overpopulation problem in the United States. There are millions of dogs that are euthanized each year, and you're wondering what it is that you can do...to add more?? This answer may not be the "positive" one that you are looking for, but it is reality, and you need to face it.

We have Chihuahuas and I studd my male out often. I post adds at Pets Mart! Also after you get a good client list people will spread the word for you. I usually request pick of the litter. Or a studd fee is requested.
I breed dogs and one website that I love is www.puppyfind.com. I believe that you can put a dog on there just to stud. Check it out though.
Don't stud your dog.
According to your posting, you are not showing your dog but he comes from Champion bloodlines. That means little. Even champion dogs often produce "pet quality only" offspring in their litters, which are AKC registerable but should not be bred. You must first proove that your dog is breedworthy by showing in conformation.
After showing in conformation you will have a better idea whether the dog is breedworthy - and people who wish to have him sire their pups will contact YOU. You will also need OFA and CERF certifications on your dog.
How old is he? Dogs under 2 years should not be bred or studded.
Aside from general vet checks, you need to have some health testing done on him. I don't know the breed, but as with ALL breeds, there are general afflictions which are not breed specific and some that are. Do you know what health problems your breed has problems with (as a breed, not just your dog)?
