Kevin Life Tips are useful pieces of advice given by Kevin during his videos. They are numbered and always written, never said out loud. They generally appear on the green screen behind Kevin.
Origins
The "Kevin Life Tip" series originated from one of Kevin's VR gaming videos (citation needed), in which an "Awkward Personality Typ of the Day" was teased in text form while he was facing his green screen. Later on, Kevin's video editors decided to expand upon this concept, starting to introduce a semi-consistent tip counter into some of his videos. There are currently 89 life tips, 1 quarantine tip, 1 death tip, 1 salvage tip, 1 Rooby Roo rife tip, 1 life lesson, 1 weird scientist guy life tip, and 1 Kevin's fire safety lesson, along with 5 1st day tips, 8 workout tips, 4 dad tips, and 4 business tips. Each is equally extremely wise.

Trivia
- Tips #715 and #1962 has the word "others" and "fraud" cropped due to the screen limits.
- Tips #715, #1962, #1990, and #1993 are written in a different font than the other tips.
- Tip #1550 may be a reference to all the small mistakes made in the tips (easily seen with "[sic]" on this page). This tip may also be the result of this very page, featured in the Miitopia is the perfect gaming experience video, confirming that this article is known to Kevin.
- Tip #1880's number could be a reference to the fact that the game played, West of Loathing, happens during the Far West era.
- Tip #1920's number seems to be a reference to prohibition in the United States of America, which started in 1920.
- There are two tips #1927.
- Tip #1969's number seems to be a reference to the Moon landing, which happened in 1969.
- Tip #1993 is a reference to the year Kevin was born (thus "winning the race").
- In Love Island Mobile game might be the worst dating game of all time, one of Kevin's likes is ‘giving life advice’.
- In Irish Renovation shows were a huge mistake, Kevin gives for the first time a tip out loud. Due to the fact that it doesn't end properly as it's cut, it may be a parody though. The tip is: “Always be wearing” and then a car crash is heard. Given the context of this tip, it's longer version must be “Always be wearing a hi-vis jacket” or something along those lines. This tip is also not numbered. Another voiced tip has been heard some time after this episode.
