I work as a publicity manager at an independent bookstore. I used to manage an annex of the store full-time, but I'm in grad school, so I asked to drop to part-time. I still help co-manage the annex while juggling the publicity responsibilities (which I felt would have been a full-time job on its own anyway; my boss disagreed).

My boss intermittently asks me for technical help with personal things -how to back up her iPhone, restoring her iPhone, etc. These don't have anything to do with the business, and I don't enjoy doing them. How can I either ask her to stop asking me to do those things (even though my predecessor in the publicity position did them for her anyway), or ask her to pay me more than my usual rate (which is waaaaay less than I would make doing tech support anywhere else) for when she asks me to do them?

I left my previous job doing tech support because I don't enjoy it, but I feel like asking for more money might indicate to her that I do have a valuable skill set worth more than I'm being paid right now (for publicity duties that include those skills, even if they're not "tech support").

I work part-time at an independent bookstore with two storefronts in the same town as the publicity and events manager. The storefront where I work is often quite distracting, but I do my best to do the job while also being the cash wrap/gift wrap/shipment person.

I left my previous job doing tech support because I don't enjoy the high pressure, immediate fix nature of it, but I do enjoy teaching people new things (to those who want to learn).

As the current publicity manager, I'm responsible for a lot of technical/editorial things (website design, advertisement design, writing press releases) that my co-workers can't or don't want to do.

When my boss asks me to do personal, technical things for her, I feel like she's exploiting me. They don't have to do with the business (e.g filling out forms so she can attend a political convention), and when I've tried to explain to her "how" to do things, she's said she either doesn't understand or wasn't listening. She was supposedly excited to hire me because of my technical background, but she won't give me the time or environment necessary to do business-related technical things, like updating the website.

I was paid +$3/hr more in my last job doing technical stuff; is it right to ask for more money if my boss wants me to do personal, technical support, or would I be better off just asking for a raise in general, and the chance to do my best work in a different, less distracting environment? She doesn't seem to think it's worth a full-time job (or changing storefronts/days when I work to avoid all the distractions), but I might be amenable to doing publicity as an independent contractor, but I don't know if she would see that as beneficial.
