Dont make stuff because you want to make money it will never make you enough money. And dont make stuff because you want to get famous because you will never feel famous enough. Make gifts for people and work hard on making those gifts in the hope that those people will notice and like the gifts.Maybe they will notice how hard you worked, and maybe they wont and if they dont notice, I know its frustrating. But, ultimately, that doesn't change anything because your responsibility is not to the people youre making the gift for, but to the gift itself.
