Nobody knows this, because we know nothing about Shakespeare's personal life. He did not write poems and plays as a hobby, because that was his job.
We really don't know, because we have no diaries, letters or any other information about Shakespeare's personal life. Nobody for example seems to have written about his collection of Bowling trophies.
Writing was not a hobby for Shakespeare. It was his job. However, there are some indications that the sonnets, or at least some of them, were not written with gain in mind.
Nobody knows what Shakespeare's hobbies were. Writing wasn't one of them, though, because writing was part of his job.
