Objective control after tier 1 turrets are gone (For Junglers)

I've mained Jungle since about mid-season 3, but I still have trouble with objective control after (enemy) tier one turrets are gone. So excluding drags, how do I create pressure and continue to move the game towards victory? I realize this is a bit ambiguous by nature as it will vary a lot from champ to champ, and comp to comp, but I'm looking for a more general overview of things I should be doing to create pressure and win the game.

tl;dr How do I take down them dang tier 2 turrets? >:O

So I guess I'll explain my thinking a bit more. There are four main things which I can see someone doing control wise. The first of these would be to start a slow-push in a side lane and then start making pressure mid. This allows for your team to rotate to the slow-pushing lane and quickly grab that 2nd tier turret. The issue with this is that it is easy for someone to simply clear the slow-pushing wave while still putting up a solid 4 man defense mid. The second strategy is to go for a 4-1 split push. The issue with this particular technique is that it almost always gets stopped very quickly unless the lane had already pushed up to the tower. Of course the upside to this technique is that it forces movement away from mid-lane allowing for the rest of your team to try to force something mid. The third technique is to do a 1-3-1 split push, but this leaves the 3 man squad very vulnerable to getting 5 manned. Lastly, there's the 5 man push down mid, but this rarely results in a tower as the enemy needs to merely set up a 4-1 split or a 5 man defense to stop it in it's tracks. Are there any other general strategies I can employ, or tactical things I could do to increase the success rate of these different strategies. (unofficial fourth/fifth is vision and jungle objective control, but these are, while necessary, outside the scope of what I'm asking)

I think what helps is recognizing your team comp. 3-1-1 can work if you have strong enough waveclear and disengage. Otherwise it might be better to just go 4-1 or group as 5 to roam enemy jungle and catch ppl alone.

I have the same problem.

Anyone else have any thoughts on the matter?
