Try to come up with some leverage, lets say you don't get a raise and you leave. Will the company take a hit? It is easy to find a replacement for you spot?

Do you need a lot of business knowledge? If so then the work speed in the beginning will be really low.

Try to ask others in your team if they also want a reason, more people makes you stronger as well.

If you cannot afford your living talk about the impact for yourself, lets say you cannot afford a car anymore and have to take public transit, this way you might be late to work from now on. That might move your manager to give a raise.

But overall when your manager doesn't agree, then don't be upset because he might be in a bad mood that day, and people can always change their minds later on.

This is really good advice. I like the point about the human angle regarding the manager's mood.
