Continue vs keep on vs carry on in conditions.

For example, I try to convince my friend to be a good worker in order to get a promotion.
Can I use all the sentences to encourage him?
1 If you continue being a good worker, you will get a promotion.
2 If you carry on being a good worker, you will get a promotion.
3 If you keep on being a good worker, you will get a promotion.
 
Yes.
 
What about
'If you continue to be a good worker you will get a promotion'?
 
For example, I try to convince
Don't use 'for example' unless you have said something that you are going to exemplify.
1 If you continue being a good worker, you will get a promotion.
2 If you carry on being a good worker, you will get a promotion.
3 If you keep on being a good worker, you will get a promotion.
If I were to say that, I'd probably drop the article before promotion.
 
I'd say ' ... you're more likely to get promoted'.

I prefer 'get promoted' rather than 'get (a) promotion, and you can't guarantee he'll get promoted – there are too many variables.

'If you continue to be a good worker you will get a promotion'?
If you are bad at your job that wouldn't help you get a promotion at all. If you do a good job you are more likely to get a promotion and less likely to be fired or laid off.
