Start with the easy stuff like charging your "new" battery. If you still get only a click then try whacking the starter with a hammer with a stick or pole to unlock the stuck solenoid. If still no-go...or this scenario repeats often, remove the starter and replace the solenoid copper contacts...about $15 online. Common repair as the soft contacts wear down.
