One, don't set up your family or anyone else. Fame is never guaranteed, and if you ruin their opinion of you it'll last a hell of a lot longer than any success you have.

Two, it's all luck. There's no proven method for getting noticed, just like there's never been a proven way to make it as an actor, get a record deal, or sign a book contract.

Do your thing, make the stuff you enjoy, and if it happens, it happens. Putting your faith in getting noticed as a life plan is the internet equivalent of trying to live off lotto tickets.
