AI is stupid, so don't let it make decisions for you. Wherever you can make a farm, you probably should otherwise, a mine. At this stage in the game you need food and production desperately. after you have Free Thought), but automated workers start covering the land with trading posts right away after you have unlocked Guilds. Trading posts can be good late in the game (i.e. Civ 5 AI is obsessed with trading posts and will put them everywhere. Once you have a better grip on the mechanics of Civilization 5, you will be able to end the game (one way or another) long before time victory would be possible. I recommend beginners turn of Time Victory also anyway, since that forces you to actually proceed toward some kind of goal to end the game. Having a low-tier wonder that provides little or no benefit has the same score value as any ten researched technologies.
In general, population doesn't count nearly enough compared to the other axes. There is lots wrong with this, but some highlights: cities are valued more than population (especially in smaller maps). They way how Civilization 5 calculates the score does not accurately track who is actually closer to any victory condition (except Time victory) or more fit for achieving any victory condition. That means (depending on the game pace) you can trade 5 horses for 7gpt or a luxury, or you can sell them one at a time for 2gpt each (but this means a lot more clicking). If an AI wants to buy your horses or iron, you can sell them for 1.5gpt per each, (rounded up). Knowing who wants to buy your strategic resources means you can get lots of gold for selling the ones you don't want. Rarely, AI will trade you their last copy of a luxury - uncommon, but it can be a lifesaver, and EUI will tell you when they are willing to do this. 
This is very important early and will save you lots of time offering trades to the AI and checking who has an extra copy of a luxury you don't have.
EUI exposes a handy dashboard showing who wants to trade luxury resources. Use it! It will give you detailed information at a glance about a lot of very important things. Not using EUI is a very common newbie mistake. This article is written mainly for players who cannot consistently win on Prince (4). This page details some common mistakes beginners make. Units to target and consider making heavy use of.
