Business Building
Technically, the cheaper the building, the more profitable it is. However, if you plan on completely industrializing your kingdom, the tailor shop is a better bet, as its smaller size allows for more to be constructed - negating the effects of its slightly smaller profit margin to the mining camp.

We Rule Basic Tips

• Build as many farms as you can and keep growing crops.
• Taylor shops do quite well and are cheap so build a few of them.
• Visit your friends shops and place orders often.
• Visit your kingdom through out the day to deal with orders and collect taxes/sales.
• Don’t waste your money on mojo, just WAIT!
• Add as many of your plus+ friends as you can.

Basic Leveling Strategy Guide:

Farming:
1. Corn (45 sec) --> Unlock Wheat (5 min)
2. Wheat (exp) or Corn (coins) --> Unlock Peas (30 min)

Note: Avoid Farming Onion unless absolutely necessary for time; Onions take the first major decline in exp & coin per hour.

3. Peas --> Unlock Rice (15 min)

Note: If you have the time to babysit your crops, use wheat instead of Peas. Overall yield is about 1.5 times larger for both exp and coin. That said, if you find yourself not keeping up with the 5 min turnaround, you might as well just plant Peas.

4. Personally, rice seems to have the best compromise between value and downtime.

Buildings

While trying to level, you really only need 2-types of buildings: The Mining Camp and Tailor Shop (anything else is just for show).

The Mining Shop maximizes your cost to output/return ratio.
The Tailor Shop makes the best use of space.

Be sure to frequently accept orders and deliver orders.
Also, be sure to check your Plus+ network friends for "open" signs to place your own orders (which grant you money and exp).
