Here's how I joined the Dark Brotherhood. I know there's other sources you can get this from but this is my take.

First you'll need to get the quest to talk to Aventus Arretino, a young boy in Winterhold. You'll find him performing the Black Sacrement. He'll tell you to go to Riften and kill the orphanage's head woman person, Grelod the Kind. There's really no way to avoid getting caught due to the kids and her assistant yelling (at least in my experience), so either start running right after you kill her to try and outrun the guards, or just serve your time in jail. After you complete that task, try to hang out in a town for a day or two, maybe honing your smithing skills or doing some small jobs for people in the town. Eventually, a courier will come and deliver a note with a bloody palm and text saying "we know." Now go to an inn or your house and sleep through a night. You'll wake up in a shack with a member of the Dark Brotherhood, who will tell you to kill one of the bound and bagged prisoners in the shack. It doesn't really matter which you kill. I killed all three and she complimented me on not leaving loose ends. Anyway, next go to the Dark Brotherhood sanctum near Whiterun, in the direction of the West Watch Tower where you killed the first dragon. I found the closest place to fast travel was a vampire cave that I had cleared in the past. Anyway, go up to the door and say the secret words "Silence, my Brother" and you're in! Hope you found this helpful!
