It goes hand in hand. You have to be a good writer so your books will sell. You have to sell yourself if people are going to be aware that you are a writer. Just doing the work isn't enough, but you still gotta be a writer.
Once you get your name out there and people finally read your stuff, then the quality of the writing takes hold. You still need to get them to read it in the first place. Hit the streets. Tell everyone you know about it. Send copies to people in the position to boost your recognition.

Or you can get an agent to do it for you.
