Why did shakespeare write the two gentlemen of Verona?
Shakespeare wrote this play for the same reason he wrote all of his plays: to make money.
Why was the tempest written?
Shakespeare wrote plays because it was part of his job. A good play put bums on seats, which meant more money for the partners in the theatre company putting on the play (Shakespeare was one of them) as well as more money for the owners of the theatre building (Shakespeare was one of them also). All of Shakespeare's plays were written to make money for Shakespeare.

What were Shakespeare's intentions for the play A Midsummer Night's Dream?
It was his job. He wrote plays for a living. What gave him the idea for this particular play is a bit of a mystery. Unlike most of his plays, it was not closely based on a book or play by someone else. At least, not one that we know of. The plot contains a hodge-podge of Greek myth (Theseus and Hippolyta), German fairy legends (Oberon), English folk tales (Puck), and working class humour.

What plays plays Shakespeare rich?
Any play which his theatre company performed. Shakespeare did not make money from the writing of plays, not even from the publication of the scripts. He made his money when they were performed. A successful play meant lots of people coming to the theatre and paying admission, part of which went to the actors (including Shakespeare), another larger part to the "sharers" of the Theatre company (after 1594, also including Shakespeare) and another bigger part of which went to the theatre owners (after 1599, including Shakespeare again). No part of the take went to the author. Thus Shakespeare made as much money out of one of Jonson's or Middleton's plays as he did out of one of his own. However, Shakespeare's plays were often the most popular, and Henry IV Part 1 was a smash hit which made all of the sharers very wealthy.
