Prove your worth
No employer will grant you a pay raise without demanding extra work from you. So brace yourself for tougher tasks ahead. If you want to satisfy your boss and make him think of giving you an increase in salary, you have to let him know that you are not expendable - you are an asset that can turn his company into a success.
Often, bosses like to keep a person employed at the same salary for years, but if you prove your worth in short period of time, your chances of getting a hike in pay are brighter and you will soon make the boss do what you want him to do. -

Give your boss solid reasons why should be given a pay raise
Convincing is the only way to get promotion at a job, and your boss is always ready to know what makes you different from the other employees.
If you have been carrying out multiple tasks and it is getting harder and harder for you to stay focused due to workload, you can write a formal email explaining how much work you are doing, how you are helping the company save a lot of expenses (salary expenses because you are doing the work of more than one person).
