First page: action.
The best stories I've read all have something going on right there at the start on page 1. In addition, it's not starting from nothing. In other words, if you take 4 pages to describe the nice sunrise and introduce the character, I'm pretty bored already. But if you start the story with action going on AND join the story "in progress," I'm going to be hooked.
But if you want someone to cough you, we're going to have to find some others to do that...
