Networking for lateral opportunities

As I’m approaching my 1 year mark in my current job. Should I start reaching out to people for potential lateral openings? If so, should I reach out to VPs or MDs? Lastly, how should I word my LinkedIn message? And, how should I continue to keep in contact with them through LinkedIn?
