Is Dropshipping Still Profitable? Best Countries to Target from Pakistan & Budget?

Hey BHW,

Keeping it short and straight to the point. I want to start dropshipping from Pakistan and need a realistic knowledge plan/advice from active sellers.

1. Is it still profitable right now? Or are ad costs and shipping times killing the margins completely?

2. Best Countries to Target: Operating from Pakistan, which countries are best to target considering fast delivery times, low ad costs, and payment gateways? (USA, GCC/Gulf, or Europe?)

3.Starting Budget: Realistic minimum budget required for a solid startup (including ads testing and tools)?

Looking for quick, honest insights. Thanks!

its works in 2016 , now the cost of marketing > profit made
