I just started too, I noticed leveling too fast doesn't help, so I try to sell on the market to get a good buffer of coin (in which I used to buy items for upgrading my castle/storage (saving me oddles of my time)) so I can buy the next structure when I level. I am Level 17 and I am maxed out on my Castle upgrades that don't cost gems, and upgraded my storage to as far as I can for my level range.

I bought extra slots for Jeweler, Juicer and Garden Patch (just with the gems provided from achievements/free). Personally, I find no desire to buy Gems in this version of the game so far (I did for the original) but that is my opinion.
