Basically I'm 17 and can't find a job. I've been applying everything, calling people, etc and nothing. My only form of income right now is graphics design and little bit of yard work. I do graphics design and motion graphics and earn a bit like that but my website isn't ranked high enough to get steady traffic and I don't get enough clients consistently to get enough money to really do anything. I'm not sure what to do because I need money obviously for different expenses and I'm looking to start college soon. What can I do? I'd like to start getting at least $500-600 a month minimum. Right now I'm probably pulling about $300-350 between yard work and graphics design. So is there anything I can do? Maybe someone who's really good with SEO could give me a hand at ranking my site higher. Or maybe I could partner with someone and do some sort of graphic work for them, I just don't know and any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

see what you can do from the stuff which the others are doing on fiverr.com
 
I hear McDonalds are hiring ;) I did that and became a manager, then joined the armed forces, that should get you more money then you ask for
 
What's wrong with the normal jobs teenagers use to make money?

- Pet or babysitting.
- Tutor
- Selling used video games, etc. on eBay
- House cleaning
- Snow removal (if you're in one of those unlucky places that get snow)
- Painting houses, fences, etc.
- Newspaper route
- Wash & detail cars

It all depends on how ambitious you are.
 
Have you done any SEO work for your website at all? Ranking higher in Google is always a good thing, but I personally don't try to rely on them for 100% of my income because of the updates lately.
