A small token amount for first publication, but as a selling point for his other works and reading tours it was more of a godsend. Touring and reading was quite a strain in order to raise money for his last project, a magazine of his own, for which he would still need a lot of other financial backing.

Poe sold his poem "The Raven" for about $20 or $30 I think because he loved his wife and wrote the poem after her death or at the time she died.
