You can definitely do this. You will need your own hosting for the subdomain. A WordPress blog cannot sit on Bigcommerce's hosting.

  1. Set up hosting (on GoDaddy, Bluehost, or other hosting)
  2. Install & configure WordPress
  3. Make the necessary DNS changes to point the subdomain at your WordPress hosting

This article can walk you through it with a little more detail. http://inkblotdigital.com/2014/wordpress-blog-bigcommerce-store/

Please clarify with further detail if there is a particular part you are having trouble with as your question is somewhat light on specifics.
