Jamestown finally began to make a profit due to the introduction of tobacco cultivation, which was championed by John Rolfe. Rolfe developed a high-quality strain of tobacco that became highly popular in England, creating a lucrative export market. Additionally, the establishment of the headright system incentivized settlement and investment, leading to increased labor and land cultivation. These factors combined helped stabilize the colony's economy and ensure its profitability.

Was the economy of Jamestown effected by slavery?
Yes. Jamestown's economy was based almost exclusively on producing and exporting tobacco. Tobacco was a VERY labour-intensive crop that needed care almost year round. The English quickly found out that in order to grow enough tobacco to make a profit, they had to get a LOT more people to work for them. They tried to enslave the Native Americans, but they were very sensitive to European disease and they knew they terrain very well and could easily escape. This made them poor candidates for the job the colonists had in mind. Instead, Jamestown turned to the cheapest form of labour it could find; African slaves. They slaves were put to work in the tobacco fields, and, with their help, Jamestown was able to export HUGE amounts of tobacco. Without the use of African Slaves, the colonists of Jamestown wouldn't have been able to produce enough tobacco to make a profit and the colony probably would've failed.
