If you get enough subscribers, followers etc.... you can get an audience to get your book. Something like 2%, but it could vary. Books I would recommend would be:

A few years back I asked Tim Challies how he got his first contract and he said he wrote the first two chapters, created an outline of the rest of the book, and submitted a query letter to publishers. It did help that he had a platform over at challies.com so he had some name recognition. And if none of that works, self-publishing works too.
