I don't think it's unrealistic to expect to wait a full year before expecting a raise in compensation. That raise could come in the form of a salary increase or a bonus.
Typically it takes a year for someone to prove their increased benefit to the company. I would generally say, 6-months to become famaliar with the business and another 6-months to have impact.
Tips for obtaining the greatest increase; focus on the business goals and objectives. Show your talents in multiple areas. Always be willing to extend yourself in terms of function and output. Always be a team player. Lastly, and most difficult, keep your criticisms of others to yourself. Even when you hear others dumping on someone, don't give in and join the conversation. Gossiping and talking behind someones back will always come back to bite you!

If you already started your new job then you are stuck following their established procedures for salary increases. To get a good raise under this situation, work hard, understand what the boss' expectations are, and have a positive attitude.
If you haven't already started the job, negotiate for the salary you want. You should always start a job being happy with the salary you are getting and raises are just an added bonus. The job should never be about the money. Remember, the company needs you and will almost always meet your reasonable requests for salary to get you to accept their offer. A company isn't going waste their time over a couple thousand dollars.
If you are in an hourly position the company might already have determined rates and salary increase policies, which again I go back to my first sentence. You may want to check with the human resources department to find out what their policies are for performance reviews.

At least a year. And the only real tip is to work hard and have a likable personality. Try to make yourself indespencible

Find out when your first performance review is. The best way to get a raise is to outperform your peers, or to do more than is expected of you.

Give some time, check around, see what your job can bring you. If you like it. Compete hard. Raises would come to you.
