I'd say you learn how to make your own stuff. If there's a thing that can and will make you independant from others; go for it. There's no shame in using your own creations, afterall.
In all my maps, ALL of them my first priority is an environment that inmerses me on the vibe you're trying to give me- A green sky on a toxic map, with green goo dripping from stuff, and with toxic clouds too? AMAZING! A normal sky and grass on a suppossedly devastated, burnt wasteland, which also has a fair amount of 100% clean water and very much lively animal objects... Perhaps not.
The second thing- Is an original idea. Are you really gonna attract people with a basic curvy river and a forest? Or a foresty island surrounded by water, water, water.. And water. Nah no thanks.
The third thing- Make it interactive. In real life, animals can climb, scratch, go into places. If you make everything cardboard, where's the fun? Make easter eggs, hidden caves, climbable stuff- Hell, maybe even a mini parkour, or a snow/rock slide! That'd be fun. I'd play on that.
Well, that's about it. The music also helps a lot- If you put a good OST in the correct type of map you're in for the win.
