Inside the replacement text of \macromaker, you must double 
`#'s for "submacros": \def\submacro##1{I am submacro##1}. 
See Chapter 20 of The TeXbook.

Another mistake seems to be that your \macromaker just 
gobbles its own parameter, I believe that it does not 
make sense for \macromaker to have a parameter.

Other \macromaker's may well have parameters, to collect 
what is going to be defined and how, perhaps conditionally 
only, LaTeX's \newcommand is of this kind.

Cheers,

    Uwe.
