Demonstrate to your employer that you have learned new skills and taken on new responsibilities. Going beyond what is expected of you helps as well. Present to your boss a case that includes the productivity you've brought to your position. If you can quantify your contribution to the company's earnings so much the better. Just saying "I deserve a raise" is not really good enough. You should be able to back up your claim. Another possibility is to look for a job at a competing company and then compare salaries. Often a hiring company will pay more than your current employer.
Depending on where you work and with whom you may need to be well connected with your boss as well. Favorites do get played in the real world.

It depends how long you been working there.
If it were me and i been there for at least six months I would do a little bit of research to see how much others are getting paid for my position. If its more than what I'm getting paid at the time I would make note of it.
Then I would think back how well I supported the company and bullsh*t to my boss that I've been taking my own time to learn more about the field im currently working at such as classes, books, and research. So I feel my knowledge for my job position should be getting paid between this and this.
I would also tell him that I did research and talk to others who have the same position as i do, but they work in a different office and I found out this is what they are getting paid.
Chances are the boss would at least bump you up some because for him to try to find another person with your skills may cost him too much. Also, if he tells you he willing to pay you $15 an hour, automatically add for 20% on top of that, which is $18 an hour and see what he would say. and work it from there.

Doing more than you're supposed to is the best way to get a raise.

Ask your boss if he/she can set some time aside because there is something you would like to discuss. Once your boss calls you in the office discuss why you feel you should receive a raise but at the same time be ready to give him/her all the reasons that would justify you receiving a raise. It worked for me and your boss will have a higher respect for you too. Well, at least mine did. :)

Well you can start by not dressing for the job that you have, but dress for the job that you want. You can put for more effort in your work and make sure that it is noticeable when you do a good job. And sometimes the best thing to do is just ask for it. There's a chance that you get it.

The day you are going to ask your boss for the raise, make sure you go to work wearing knee pads.
