If you want even faster help (and you’re willing to wait a few minutes), their chat function can also be incredibly helpful. You should be able to get just about every problem you might encounter, unless it’s really complex, knocked it using LiveChat within 30-45 minutes.

Installing WordPress on Bluehost: https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/wp_install
An article that walks you step-by-step through how to install WordPress on your Bluehost account. Installing WordPress on any domain you own will be necessary first, before beginning to build your website.
What is cPanel, and What Do You Do With It? https://youtu.be/SyHBiBQERuc
If you’ve never worked with cPanel before (short for “control panel”), I’d recommend this overview. Basically everything you need to do with your hosting account is done using cPanel (including things like uploading files, creating email addresses for your website, etc.), so I highly recommend learning a bit about it and poking around in there when you get a chance!
If all else fails and you can’t figure out how to accomplish something for your site or server, don’t hesitate to reach out to Bluehost support directly using the links above.
