To develop on crouton, you will need to allow ChromeOS to access to the required server ports locally, which is blocked by the chroot’s firewall. Effectively, you will be adjusting the firewall (using the iptables package) on the chroot’s startup. You will need to do this for the two ports required by Expo, 19000 and 19001. Follow the crouton documentation for more detailed instructions on running servers in crouton.

Newsletters sponsorships are simply another marketing channel and you should price them as such. This means that you should consider 3 main factors when calculating your sponsorship rates as a newsletter owner: cost per thousand impressions (CPM), click through rates (CTR), as well as cost per click (CPC).

You can then use this figure as a baseline when negotiating with the sponsor.
