About the course
A practitioner's reference, not a primer.
Most domain courses teach the surface — what a domain is, where to register, how to list it. DNBlackBook starts where those end. It's the patterns, judgments, and tradeoffs you only see after a long time spent buying, holding, and selling names.
Three decades of decisions, organized into something teachable for the first time. Written for working investors and serious newcomers — not for the audience that needs to be told what a TLD is.
What's inside
Four parts.
Valuation
A consistent mental model for pricing names from $500 to $500,000 — and knowing when to hold, sell, or walk away.
Exit
Outbound sales, broker relationships, marketplace positioning, and how to structure deals that actually close.
Domains in the age of AI
AI is reshaping which names get bought, which get dropped, and which quietly become worth ten times what they were last year. How to read the shift before the crowd catches on.
The work
What this actually looks like, day to day.
A domain investor doesn't just register names and wait. The work is a continuous loop — find, judge, hold, position, negotiate, close. The course covers each stage in depth. Here's the shape of it.
01Acquire
02Evaluate
03Hold
04Position
05Negotiate
06Exit
Most courses teach the first two stages and skip the rest. The middle three — hold, position, negotiate — are where the money actually lives. That's where most of DNBlackBook's pages are spent.
Who's writing this
Rami Steitiyeh.
I bought my first domain in 1999. I've been buying, selling, and watching the market every year since — through the post-bubble drought, the .com renaissance, the new-TLD experiments, the rise of the aftermarket, and now the AI shift that's rewriting what a name is worth.
DNBlackBook is the course I wish had existed when I started. It doesn't talk down to beginners. It doesn't waste a working investor's time. It's the reference I've been writing in my head for two decades, finally on paper.

Summer 2026. We'll email everyone on the list once, the day it opens.

A guaranteed founders price of $297 (instead of the $497 launch price), 24-hour priority access before public opening, and a founders-only Q&A session. The $50 is credited toward your purchase, or refunded fully if you change your mind before launch.
-
How long is the material?
Self-paced. Roughly 8 to 10 hours of structured lessons, plus a reference section you'll come back to.
-
Is this for beginners?
It works as an entry point, but it's denser than most beginner material. New investors will skip three years of mistakes. Experienced investors will find patterns they haven't seen written down before.
