Be aware that there are varying techniques for different conditions and aircraft
I always found getting the correct speed over the keys for the weight of the aircraft the key. I f you have the right speed and the stabilised approach, the aircraft will pretty much land itself. As you get 6 ft or so above the ground treat it as an excercise in level flight, look down the runway, relax, and as throttle is closed, it will sink slowly. As it sinks, ease back on the controls progressively more. Thats the hold off.
Forget about the stall warning. I generally try to let it land before the stall warning, and you will be greatful for this on a summers day with a full load, when you can get a rude shock,especially if you lose your headwind 15 feet off the ground.
Hold the nose off if you can, and with flaps 30 plus, you be amazed how quickly the drag from the flaps plus nose up slows things down. However the typical short field landind is to get all three wheels down and brake firmly, with
elevators up .
