Really depends on what you do.
If you're a junior in a technical profession (engineering, software) or business development role (consulting, project management, HR, marketing, etc. although good PMs are hands-off) then yes, hard workers do get promoted. Competition is limited enough in most organizations that it is possible to stand out.
If you work in non-commission retail, admin work, nursing, science, teaching, medicine, accounting, law or any role where career development is limited by qualifications, then yes, that strategy is fine. For low skill jobs, you're a number in a system and you'll be lucky if anyone even recognizes your efforts. If you're in medicine or law, you can obviously take on more cases for more income, but your potential scales fairly linearly unless you are in a good subfield or have a big break. Just don't be the idiot that loses their sanity over a dumb retail gig.
