What are my next steps in trying to get a raise for being 1 of 2 people in the US team that take Spanish calls?

I work in a corporate role as a tech support specialist. I started here about 6 months ago. I picked up on everything pretty quickly and I know I do pretty well compared to my coworkers that have been there longer. They added one weekend every month and a half which was not discussed with me but it’s not bad because it’s usually slow, whatever company’s pretty cool I’ll deal with it. Anyway, we take calls from Puerto Rico and I was helping out in Spanish. I did this for about a month and I figured I feel that it’s fair if I would try to negotiate a raise. I took myself out of the Spanish group messages and my boss asked me about it. I told him that I feel it’s not fair that I’m working extra and above and beyond and get paid the same as my coworkers.…

He said he wanted me to be taken care of and that he would help out but nothing about getting a raise.
