I made a few thousand a year as a teenager in addition to a typical teenage job at a bagel store/CompUSA by leveraging family friends to build websites for their pet projects like a craft business or band website. You have to actively market yourself and constantly reach out via parents, but if you are persistent, you might find work. People will often think that a teenager is both cheap and capable (which they often are) so you might be able to get contracts that formal companies cannot. It takes a lot of practice to understand how to communicate with clients but you will get the benefit of the doubt as a young person.
