You mean, I suppose, during his lifetime. Shakespeare was well-known for his writing during his lifetime. One of the best examples of this is in Francis Meres's book Palladis Tamia in 1597, in which he listed all of the best writers in England at that time, and mentioned Shakespeare as a playwright, and as a composer of sonnets and epic poems.
One reason we know that Shakespeare made a name for himself was that although the earliest of his plays were published anonymously, after a while the publishers thought it would sell more copies if the plays were attributed to Shakespeare. Later, they started adding Shakespeare's name to stuff that he hadn't written, which shows that his name was a real selling point. Otherwise why try to sell fake Shakespeare plays and poems?
