In this paper, we consider a nonlinear elliptic equation driven by the $p$-Laplacian and with a parameter $\lambda>0$. Using a combination of variational and degree theoretic methods, we show that there exists $\lambda^*>0$ such that, if $\lambda>\lambda^*,$ then the problem has two positive smooth solutions. Our result extends earlier ones by Rabinowitz (semilinear equations) and Guo (nonlinear equations)
