If Shakespeare invented so many words, how did they so quickly become commonplace English?

Presumably, only a small portion of English people were seeing his plays, so how did the words Shakespeare invented become linguistic staples rather than historical oddities?

While it doesn’t directly answer your question, I think this old answer by /u/cdesmoulins should be illuminating: If William Shakespeare made up new words for his works, how did contemporary playgoers understand his dialogue.
