One way to attempt this without doing any extra work is to be proactive with developing new skills that would help the company and also demonstrate your willingness to learn new things. This may give your boss a reason to award you with a higher salary. Be sure to keep track of your accomplishments and bring up relevant examples when having discussions about your raise. Establishing good working relationships with other employees at higher levels in the organization can be beneficial as well, as their endorsement can go a long way towards getting a desired raise. If all else fails, do research on what is considered average for raises in similar positions and use that data as leverage.

Honestly, you may want to consider looking for another job if your current boss isn't open to giving you a raise. While it can be beneficial to learn how to effectively negotiate in the workplace, it shouldn't have to come at the cost of undervaluing yourself or feeling taken advantage of. If you think there is room for improvement in terms of how much money your boss is willing put toward staff compensation, look into labor law entitlements and policies where you live and ask colleagues what strategies have worked best in successful negotiations.  In the meantime, be sure that your work performance merits any compliments offered — so if praise doesn't equate with bonuses on payday, it’s worth double-checking that all expectations are being fulfilled. Best of luck!
