I don't think you will be able to get a micro-loan anytime soon. The SBA is cutting back and it is getting tougher for anyone to get financing, close to impossible right now.

What type of personal or business credit do you have?

Glad to see someone so young already be a serial entrepreneur. Glad that you are sticking with it.

Marketing is not cheap, especially offline - online would be much cheaper.

If I were in your position, I would think about asking family and friends for monetary help. They know you best and should have faith in you.

Also could try credit cards (a typical bootstrapping method) even though you are young and probably don't have established credit. If you are going to college, many banks offer student loans.

I would also suggest usuing peer-to-peer lending sites. On these sites, you create a loan request - thus you tell your story. Then, other regular individuals see your request and bid on your interest rate. If enough come together to fund your loan request at an agreed upon amount, then the deal is done - you have your money. Try sites like propser, zopa, or All World Privte Funding.

You could also look into a micro-loan - even though you do not have established credit - as long as it is not bad credit, they may fund you a small amount. Get up to $25K.

I am telling you this because I love to help new businesses. I also have a company that helps businesses find growth capital. And, we need as many new businesses in this country as we can get. I am also from Texas.
