The Details of the Question
How did our Prophet make a living after being a prophet?
The Answer

Dear Brother / Sister,

Our Prophet (pbuh) was occupied in trade before he married and he continued to be occupied with trade using the wealth of Hazrat Khadija, our mother. (Salih Suruç, Peygamberimizin Hayatı, Mekke devri, p, 143)

Our Prophet worked as a shepherd when he was a child and he was sometimes occupied in trade when he was young.

After becoming a prophet, he practiced the religion of Islam that Allah sent and conveyed it to people. He spent his whole life preaching Islam.   

Our Prophet was in charge of a religion and umma (community). Therefore, he undertook a duty that covered all aspects of life.

He was the commander-in-chief in wars, the administrator of the umma of Muhammad, a judge solving problems, a teacher to arrange the affairs of the world and the hereafter; he lived as a leader and served Islam.

Therefore, he received some of the war booty; so, he made a living without asking anything from anyone.
