My degree is in Advertising and I've put my resume online and applied for jobs and even emailed it out to advertising companies.

Put a portfolio together and pound the pavement. Go "Old School" meeting the powers that be face-to-face on their turf and sell yourself.

There are many factors that could be in play here. For example, there may be tremendous competition for jobs. Or there might not be jobs available in that field or in that geographical region. Maybe it's that they're finding more qualified individuals, or those with training you lack.
If you're sending out tons and tons of resumes and aren't hearing anything back, then it could be your cover letter and/or resume aren't effectively highlighting your abilities. If you are getting interviews but not landing the job, then it might be you're doing taking those interviews well, or that they're finding candidates with stronger backgrounds.
Point it, it's a long road to finding employment, and landing a job can take upwards of a year or two for many. So 5 or 6 months really isn't all that long. And lastly, you might want to open up your prospects to beyond advertising companies.

Have you considered starting your own business?
I have an online/offline retail business. We sell hundreds of products and also have many well-know partner stores including Barnes and Noble, Sony Music, Office Max, Eddie Bauer and more. The nice thing about being online is that it doesn't have the huge start-up costs of traditional business.
My website is:

It takes time to find a job. It took me almost 5 months. Just keep trying and do some volunteer work in the mean time. You will likely meet lots of new people, including owners of businesses who need employees.
