Of course, there are many hardcopy literary
magazines (some well-respected ones even, though
the number is likely dwindling) that pay in 
complimentary copies only.

I can also personally attest to the fact that
editors of paying, hardcopy literary magazines 
do occasionally read the net, and might decide 
to publish you based on what they see.

Don't discount an investment in electronic pubs
out of hand; the exposure you get may indeed
pay off in the future.
