You don't. Just because he's purebred doesn't mean he should be siring pups.
What's his pedigree? Unless almost all of his parents, grandparents, and great grandparents are show or working champions, he shouldn't be bred. One or two show champions in the bloodline does not make a good dog.
How did he come out on his health screenings? Unless he's been tested and has the documentation that he passed tests for hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, von Willebrands disease, cardiac problems, thyroid testing, CERF and OFA eye exams, etc. he should not be bred.
What's he like? Unless his temperament is flawless, he is being shown, or has titles as a working dog, he's not stud material.
Has he been examined by a vet and has he passed tests saying he is clear of sexually-transmitted diseases and will any dog he's bred to be tested before mating?
Not every male dog should be a stud (in fact, 99% of them shouldn't.) Breeding your dog will result in even more pups that are not bred by responsible owners. Anyone who is breeding for the right reasons won't use your dog unless he's met all of the requirements above. Do yourself and the dog a favor and get him neutered.

Just because he is purebred, it doesn't mean he is a good dog for breeding.
You can ask the person who bred him to teach you about his conformation & how he meets the standard of his breed (but chances are, your aunt got the dog from a commercial breeder who doesn't care & was just breeding for money).
You can contact the breed parent club (via www.akc.org ) & ask the corresponding secretary where you can find someone in your area to mentor you.
You will have to know if he carries any hereditary defects.
You can start showing the dog, & people with breedable bitches will come to you if he's winning.
But then, if you don't plan to keep a puppy for yourself from each litter he sires, that would be irresponsible....because who do you think should be responsible for all the unwanted dogs out there?

Your dog must be at least 2 years old, registered with the AKC, and have finished his AKC championship in the conformation ring, then received all the genetic testing and health clearances that are available for the breed. (OFA, EYES, HIPS, PATELLAS, ETC). Any responsible breeder will require that before considering using him as stud. The show ring is the proving ground for breeding quality, so a dog that does not achieve it's championship is not of a quality to be bred. After he is finished, you will be approached by breeders who have admired him in the ring, studied his pedigree and determined that the mating of your dog with their female will produce puppies that constitute a viable contribution to the breed. You will never need to advertise or seek anyone out.

The correct term is pure bred.
I suggest you neuter him and enjoy him as a pet rather than trying to make money from him. Trust me. You won't make any money anyway. Reputable breeders do so only if the matings will contribute to the strength and improvement of the breed - not for the money.
Most of the time reputable breeders go in the hole (often quite deeply) rather than make money - even on top quality show dogs.

Unless you have all his papers, you don't. No reputable breeder will use a dog at stud without knowing its background. If you have his papers and want to make him available at stud, contact his breeder. He/she may be able to put you in touch with people in your area looking for a stud dog, but it is more likely that you will be advised not to do it.
There are enough badly bred puppies in the world without producing more.
Whatever happens, enjoy your dog and don't look at him as a means of making money.

Why don't you go to your local shelter and ask there - they'll have some good answers for you.

He's a pet, not an ATM. Go earn your money some other way.

Unless you have papers no one will be interested.
And it's purebred.
