50k followers getting $6k deals after 1.5 months is already performing well above average so not sure why you’re complaining about “touching the surface”
Most influencers at that follower count are getting maybe $500-1000 per sponsored post. If you’re landing custom commission work and NDA-level brand deals you’re already doing better than most managers
Focus on case studies and results from current clients instead of chasing scale immediately. Brands care about ROI not follower count. If you can prove the 50k audience converts then bigger deals follow naturally
Also “working with more agencies” isn’t a strategy it’s just wanting more without knowing why
