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.

Answer 2

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.

If Shakespeare wrote the plays, they didn't have to buy them from someone else, and they made more profit.
