Since I have very recently offered a done for you program (information product, promotion, even an AUTOMATIC PRODUCT VENDING site)...I have to say, I reject about 8 out of 10.
Sure, I can do it for you, out of the gate. To get you started. THEN WHAT?
And this is where I have to leave most behind. Because they don't know what they want, and lack a plan of action, the whole done for you idea only gets the rock rolling...but if it is up a hill, one can expect Sisyphus results.
I don't know who you are referring to, but I guarantee, in the end of the day, he/she is making more from doing it for you, than you are making.
DFY, is a leverage, but the long game needs continuous activity, and some of that just can't be done by anyone but you.

It's apparently wildly popular! So it makes sense to sell it...
It's part of the "done for you" trend...
People want things that are "done for them"...
And, the seller can charge a lot more for it, too...
I won't say who, but there's a prominent online seller (very successful), who sells marketing-related stuff...
What he's been selling the last few years is primarily a "done for you" solution to business...
From his email promos and videos, it looks like he promises to...
- provide the product that you sell
- build your email list of prospects for you
- write your email ads
It seems pretty much all you have to do is click a button to send the already-written-for-you email to the already-built-for-you email list!
In the end, the deal costs around $2,000...
People buy because it's a "done for you" solution... All they have to do is click a button, and they have a business! (That's the promise...)
However, he doesn't promise to do this for you forever. He and his team might do it for you for a month or two or so. After that, you're on your own...
(Though I wouldn't be surprised if there's a "continuity fee" if you want him and his team to keep doing this for you further into the future...)
It's not for me... I guess I like learning how to do it, so I gain the skills...
Unlike money and things, nobody can ever take your skills away from you...
Best wishes!
