Shakespeare primarily made his money by being a partner in a theatrical company. When the company made a profit, he got a share of that profit. He also got a share of the profit from the Globe Theatre and the Blackfriars Theatre.

For most of his career, his playwriting, acting and investments were all part of the same way of making money. He had an investment in a playing company. If the play was popular, lots of people came to see it, paying money at the door. Shakespeare then got a share of that money. He also got a share of the money from the use of the Globe Theatre, since he was also a part owner of the building. If Shakespeare wrote the plays, they didn't have to buy them from someone else, and they made more profit.

Actors inevitably play the roles in Shakespeare's plays, although some roles nowadays are played by actresses. Sometimes these are professional actors who earn their money this way, and sometimes they are amateurs who have a different day job.
