I'm sorry to say but the very best tip for increasing the value of a domain is to choose them very carefully, before registering them.

Developing a website doesn't really increase the value of a domain. It lends value but that's the value of everything external to the domain name itself, especially those externalities that have some degree of permanence.

There's no fast and easy way to online success, unless it's the fast and easy way that marketers of "success" products/courses make their money - peddling Webdev basics to the uninformed, the lazy, the greedy - and taking the fool's money in the process.
