How tf do you "keep in touch" with networking contacts??

Title. I've never figured out what it entirely means to "stay in touch" with someone I've had a networking call with. What kind of updates are appropriate, how often should I send them, and when would it be okay to set up a second networking call? 

Not sure how to build actual relationships without it seeming forced.

Officia quia est sapiente earum et. Expedita odit ea eaque dolorem.

Veniam suscipit ea sunt. Sequi aut id nulla expedita. Excepturi quibusdam impedit deleniti ullam pariatur voluptas soluta. Pariatur voluptatem culpa soluta voluptas nihil voluptatum iusto.

Hic earum dicta culpa minus. Incidunt qui quam necessitatibus at doloribus. Sequi quia consequatur culpa dolorem autem neque soluta.

Itaque non tenetur aut vitae. Veniam nostrum eos fuga recusandae. Odit consequatur expedita sit praesentium facilis nam officiis.
