Yes, and still is. In his lifetime, his erotic poem Venus and Adonis went into a number of printings and made Shakespeare a lot of money. When Francis Meres listed the famous English writers of his day in 1597, he mentioned Shakespeare not only for his plays, which he listed, but also for his poetry, praising his "sugared sonnets."
