How big does my email list need to be for email marketing to work?
There is no minimum. Flows trigger on behaviour, so they work on a small list, and a small engaged list can earn more than a large tired one.
With a small list, put effort into capture, such as a clear sign-up offer, and into core flows like welcome and abandoned cart.
List size matters less than engagement. Revenue per recipient is a better way to judge it.
In practice.
A new store with a few hundred subscribers builds a welcome flow and an abandoned cart flow first. Even small volumes trigger them daily, and the store grows the list with a clear sign-up offer on the site.
