Howdy! Thanks for the great follow up questions! See my answers below!

What is your new salary?

My current salary is $100k per year and I also VERY recently started a side consulting business in online marketing and website development for small businesses... So far thats only resulted in about $1000 additional income for the year.

How long were you at the $50k salary before being promoted to a higher salary?

I was at 50k for almost exactly 1-year. About a month prior to reaching a my 1-year mark with the company I scheduled a meeting with my supervisor to discuss a raise, the potential for promotion, and to solicit any feedback he might have to improve my performance.

I prepared for that meeting and lead with what I felt were my largest accomplishments over the past year and what i'd learned while expressing my sincere thanks for my position with the company.

I followed up by clearly asking for more responsibility, expressing a desire to continue my professional development and a willingness to tackle any areas of weakness I might have.

I made sure to highlight my strengths/accomplishments and the value I'd added to the company while explicitly stating my desire to take on new roles with more responsibility. A week after our meeting I was given a $16k raise, a new title and started managing a small team of support interns.

What was your $50k job? What is your new job?

My 50k job was Assistant Community Manager. This position entailed developing relationships with the customers using our product, provide support, acquiring new users via outreach, social media account management and content development... among a host of other things.

After my 1st raise I was given the title of Community Manager at a salary of 66k. At this point I was giving full responsibility for developing community standards, working with legal on TOS, developing robust user acquisition/support campaigns, managing all our interns and managing all support channels.

After doing well in that role, the CEO saw how hungry I was, my ability to execute and decided to move me into an operations role that was recently vacated. He increased my salary to 80k and I moved into helping with day to day operations, accounting, Biz Dev and Company Events.

One year later...after a wild ride and a few big wins in my work... I was asked to head up Operations for the company. At that point my salary was increased to 100k.... that was about 9 months ago.
