Here's a short list of jobs which you can create to generate income:
1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.
2. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.
3. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.
4. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.
5. Visit your nearest beauty salon and ask to be trained as a shapoo person who is also willing to sweep up fallen hair on the ground and do set ups [arranging dye kits, curler holders, etc.] for a set hourly fee.
6. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time.
Good luck!

How about going around your neighborhood and asking if anyone needs yardwork. Also, try babysitting. Those are pretty much it unless you have someone in your family that needs small help around their work and are willing to pay

if you live in the city it might be tough but you could try working as a busser at a restaurant. but, if you live in the country usually barns will hire just about anyone to talk care of the animals like feeding or cleaning horse stalls.

Babysitting. Odd jobs and chores for neighbors.
Answered by Douglas P
A:
You can always babysit; that's usually good money.
But the fact that you don't know that this question, in order to be grammatically correct, should be, "Are there any jobs...", shows that you are not ready for a real job.
Answered by Gia
A:
Sure. Babysitting, mowing lawns, raking lawns, see if your neighbors need help cleaning around their property. Anything like that :).

With your level of literacy?
The question should have been : 'Are there any jobs for 13 year olds?'
Don't worry, there are plenty of jobs that don't require literacy
