You can use a post_save signal for the User Model
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/signals/#post-save
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
def create_about(sender, **kwargs):
user = kwargs['instance']
if kwargs['created']:
about = About()
about.user = user
about.save()
post_save.connect(create_about, sender=User)
