What I usually do is create a browser view, called for example
@@initial_content_creation, that you call manually on the Plone Site.
Then put some lines in there that do things like create a document:

context.invokeFactory('Document', id='doc', title='Hello world.',
                      text='It is good to see you.')

Good places to look for how to create things programmatically are
tests, for example the tests in Products.CMFPlone itself.
