here my tips:

  1. Always reject the first offer. They always have a counter-offer for you.

  2. Even though you are happy with your current job, don't be afraid to present new interviews. Perhaps, a good opportunity is waiting for you or the company in your current job can get better your salary.

  3. Show your skills. Forums, portfolio, blogs, events are good ways to show your knowledge and skills.

  4. Give value to the emotional salary. I mean flexible hours, working from home, career path, bonus etc...

Good post, Thanks!.
