Getting Started:
When you first begin to play, it will consist of six plowed patches. Two of these will have crops that are fully grown and ready to harvest, two will have crops that are half grown, and the last two will be all ready for you to start to plant crops on them. You'll also have 200 coins and 5 dollars worth of FarmVille cash in your Farmville bank.

The first thing to do is to begin harvesting the crops that are available for you to sell to the market. When you do this, you earn coins that you can put towards plowing more land an planting more seeds. You can add as many plowed patches to your farm as you want, as long as you have the money to plow them. After this you can decide which seeds to plant, but there are several things you should take into account when you decide upon the direction you will take.
How to Expand Quickly

It's a basic, yet very effective principle, the more money you'll make by harvesting your crops. This doesn't mean you can keep expanding your farm in a growing manner. Plowing and planting incurs a cost. You'll just be wasting time and money if you plow a bunch of fields and then can't afford to buy any seeds to grow in the plots. Therefore, you want to gradually, little by little so that you're able to fully take advantage of all of your farm's available space.

The best way to get the most out of your farm and your growth and planning potential is to begin by clearing 10 more patches of land. Once you harvest the crops that were ready and waiting for you, you'll have exactly the right amount of farm coins to clear that land and plant on it. This way, you'll have more land to grow crops on, and you'll be able to plant on all the available plots straight away.
If you do things too quickly you won't have the money to plant the necessary crops, so although it sounds a little paradoxical, you should take your time when beginning Farmville if you want to ensure that you level up fast.
Investment Return

To Finish this article I want to briefly talk about investment return and how important factoring in your return on investment from the crops, animals and trees that you decide to purchase. Therefore this is the relationship between the cost of the good and the amount your receive in return. For example soybeans are the best of the crops you have available to you at the start of the game. Their cost is 15 coins to plant per plot of land, and you can sell your harvest for 63 coins per plot of land.
This is a return of more than 4 times your initial investment (purchase price of crop), as opposed to the three and a half times return that strawberries provide. Of course, the soybeans take longer to grow than the strawberries do. Because there are so many factors that go can influence your decision about what to plant, this should be just one factor in many of the different variables you should look at in choosing what you should purchase.
