People find things on the interwebs by Searching for them. They cannot search for, or find, things that they don't already know about. This is the fundamental problem for anyone doing something unique.
You might try coming up with some designs that relate to popular niches: pets, politics, whatever. So do your clever thing, but make it about impeaching Trump, or expressing love of one's pug dog. To get found, gotta have something that relates to the keywords people are searching for. Keep doing your thing, just make sure some relate to things people would search for.
I like you idea. Hope you get it going.
One other thing you might try is selling wholesale into retail shops. You would need to target the right kinds of shops ... maybe bookstores, places that sell puzzles, etc. You make a lot less money per unit, but you get volume.
