Is dropshipping dead in 2026

Hey guys i did tiktok shop
Not dropshipping (i sold out)
But honestly first 5 month i was stuck then thanks god I was able to stock out in just 1 month

Now i really dont wanna order again and hold physical items

So my question is is dropshipping is still something works at this time
I have the resources, skillsets and money for running ads
Also i know product is the most important
So also advice on niche is also appreciated
Thank you🙏

Help/advice needed

I’m 18 and recently bulk ordered a product in the shoe care niche after testing another product before and making a pretty decent profit within a month.
The problem is… I recently started working a full-time job 6 days a week, and now I genuinely don’t have the time or energy to build and market this properly.
What makes it frustrating is that the product actually has really good potential. On TikTok Shop there’s basically almost no competition for it, and even after affiliate samples + expenses, I honestly think someone could still pull around $1k–$1.5k+ profit if they execute it properly.
I know some people might assume I’m posting this just hoping someone buys the inventory from me lol. Honestly, if that happened I’d probably be relieved. But even if not, I genuinely want advice from people more experienced than me.
What would you guys do in this situation?
Try finding someone to take over the inventory?

Partner with a creator/marketer?

Let affiliates handle everything?

Sell the whole stock locally or wholesale?

I’ve sold online before, but this is my first time being stuck because of time instead of product demand
