There are ethical and moral issues with the idea of selling puppies fast. Remember, these are living, sentient creatures that require a substantial commitment to be cared for adequately. If you want to contribute positively to your community, you will place an emphasis on getting the puppies into the right homes, even if it takes a little longer. You will also educate the buyers so they know what it will take to be a responsible pet owner.
If, instead, you are trying to make money quickly by selling puppies, you will be doing a disservice to the animals, your customers, and your community. Many of the puppies sold this way will be impulse purchases that will end up on the street. They will become sick, get injured, or will be picked up by Animal Control at taxpayer expense. Unless they are very lucky, they will be euthanized.
There are lots of inanimate products that are much more profitable and can be sold more quickly as compared with live animals. Live animals also have a relativley short "shelf life." Puppies tend to be most appealing between 8 and 16 weeks of age. Any that aren't sold by then may lose their value in the marketplace.
I hope that you will reconsider selling puppies as a business. The people who are best suited to selling or adopting out animals are those who care most about the animals and least about profitability.

Get a good photo of each pup or together as a group put down all of their specs breed, their parents AKC papers etc. Ask pet stores if they would be willing to sell them on consignment of if they would allow you to post their pictures in their stores.
Also try local newspaper be sure to specify breed.
