Rockinblu's blog did have some good tips and links attached. Postlets is one of the links that I would have sent to you. I love the site because you can post to many other sites and make a nice flyer for Craigslist. I wasn't sure how Zillow feels about us posting other sites.
Being Realtor friendly can also be a big help. If you plan to allow a buyer to work with a Realtor, meaning that you are okay with paying a commission to their agent, then be sure to put that in your advertising. I have had some bad experiences with FSBO's in the past when calling to see if I could set up an appointment for my buyers to view a home. If I see that you are cooperating, it makes the phone call much easier to make ;-)

One more time. Read rockinblus' blog. Read it several times. Be as realtor friendly as you can. Many are sharks and will leave you feeling molested. Many are fine and will be helpful. Ignore the scare tactics and misleading statements. Did I mention being realtor friendly?
you can do it, however you may need to have a RE lawyer do your paperwork.

Mel gave you the right directions on how to put it on Zillow. It's on $9.95 for 6 months so it is really cheapr. I wrote a blog post for FSBO's using the internet which may give you some other ideas that you haven't thought of.
Using the Internet as a FSBO
Good luck!

As far as doing a FSBO, you might want to read the blog attached to the link below a few times. It's quite a handful. Good luck.

Hi, they are charging now to list your home on Zillow. That is something new that they just started. If you hover over the homes tab at the top of your screen, you will see an option that says "post home for sale by owner". I have some other sites that I also post my listings to that I have found get good results in addition to Zillow. You will want to get your home on as many sites as possible. You can email me if you want, and I'll send you some links. Good luck!!
Warm regards,
Mel
