Delivering papers? -my two don't really do mornings (for a regular round) but have both delivered the weekly free paper.
Leaflet delivery?
Local shops / cafes
Babysitting
Jobs for neighbours / family / colleagues / people you know through some other things you belong to - eg cutting the grass, or 'one off' helping with stuff like stripping wall paper or clearing out a shed?
My dd (15) has just been paid handsomely by an elderly friend who has bought himself a tablet / iPad thingee but has no idea how to use it and wanted some lessons - he's back next week for the next lesson
Cleaning for people you know?

My boys made a small leaflet saying "2 brothers available for work" listing what they could do : loft clearance, gardening, babysitting etc with their hourly rate and posted it to all our neighbours and in the local shop. They've had quite a few jobs since.....
