5 high search low competition terms on Instagram Reels:

• #nichespecifickeyword+reel (e.g., #gardeningreel, #codingreel, #artreel)
• #nichespecifickeyword+challenge (e.g., #gardeningchallenge, #codingchallenge, #artchallenge)
• #nichespecifickeyword+tip (e.g., #gardeningtip, #codingtip, #arttip)
• #nichespecifickeyword+hack (e.g., #gardeninghack, #codinghack, #arthack)
• #nichespecifickeyword+behindthescenes (e.g., #gardeningbehindthescenes, #codingbehindthescenes, #artbehindthescenes)

These terms are likely to be searched for by people who are interested in your niche, but they are not as competitive as more general hashtags like #reels, #explore, and #instagram.

For example, if you are a gardening creator, you could use hashtags like #gardeningreel, #gardeningchallenge, #gardeningtip, #gardeninghack, and #gardeningbehindthescenes on your Reels. This will help your content to be seen by more people who are interested in gardening, without having to compete with the millions of other Reels that are posted every day.

It is important to note that the competitiveness of a hashtag can vary depending on your niche and the time of year. For example, the hashtag #gardeningreel is likely to be more competitive during the spring and summer months, when more people are gardening.

Personally, I recommend using a mix of search low competition hashtags and more general hashtags
