I already manifested my intention.

The idea is to give them a gift. Sending them a link to a website does not bring about reciprocality.

But giving a book does. I must send them a copy of your book. I think they'll read it if I do.

Physical objects (like books) will never be completely replaced by digital ones, because we are still a hands-on species. A digital article is not a gift, but a book is.

It's ironic that I learned this trick a long time ago from being a Mormon.

(All I need to do is manifest the $$$ to buy the book....)

The answer to the general question is: "Use the principal of reciprocality (or any other principals of influence) to get them to open their mind to new ideas."
